Clinical performance of the novel full-genotyping OncoPredict HPV Quantitative Typing assay using the VALGENT framework.
multiplex real-time PCR quantitative assay targeting E6 / E7 genes, allowing individual viral load determination of 12 high-risk (HR) HPV types. Quality controls for sample adequacy, efficiency of nucleic ...
A genomic appraisal of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium and associated antibiotic resistance in sub-Saharan Africa.
underlying emergences of extensive-drug and pan-drug resistance. Our work provides an overview of the evolution of invasive S. Typhimurium disease, and can be exploited to target control measures. Health ...
Targeted Chromosomal Barcoding Establishes Direct Genotype-Phenotype Associations for Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus.
demonstrated that the presence of the genetic barcode was linked to the targeted incorporation of the desired mutation in its chromosomal location. All recombinants displayed the same MIC to bedaquiline as the ...
HPV-based Cervical Cancer Screening on Self-samples in the Netherlands: Challenges to Reach Women and Test Performance Questions.
importance of optimizing outreach, specimen handling and testing protocols for self-samples to effectively screen the target population and reach in particular the women at highest risk for cervical cancer. ...

Evaluation of the clinical performance of OncoPredict HPV® SCR assay within the VALGENT‐2 framework
assay targeting E6 / E7 genes of 13 high-risk (hr) HPV s. OncoPredict HPV ® SCR (index assay) identifies HPV-16 and HPV-18 separately, 11 other hrHPV in aggregate and includes quality controls for sample ...
Inequalities in mortality associated with housing conditions in Belgium between 1991 and 2020
least deprived areas in terms of housing. Hotspots of housing inequalities need to be located and targeted with tailored public actions. Health Topics: Life expectancy Health and disease monitoring ...
Genomic epidemiology of persistently circulating MDR Shigella sonnei strains associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) in Belgium (2013–19)
than isolates from women. Multiple co-circulating MDR S. sonnei clusters of different genotypes were identified in the MSM community. Further studies on risk groups are needed for targeted prevention, ...

different population groups. In order to achieve the 95-95-95 targets set out by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV / AIDS (UNAIDS), a strong and sustained focus on HIV prevention is paramount. This ...
Organizing the health interview survey at the local level: design of a pilot study.
target sample size was 1000 (≥ 15 years). A systematic sampling technique was applied with substitutes for non-respondents who were matched in terms of statistical sector, age and sex. Selected persons ...
