Nursing home residents with suspected urinary tract infections: a diagnostic accuracy study

The combined nitrite and leucocyte esterase urine dipstick test (one or both positive) had a 96.0% negative predictive value (95% CI: 80.5-99.3%). The sensitivity of a positive CRP test (≥ 5 mg/L) was ...

Retrospective evaluation of routine whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the Belgian National Reference Center, 2019.

bioinformatics workflow to determine the species and antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we retrospectively compare results obtained via WGS to conventional phenotypic and genotypic testing, for all Belgian ...

A molecular assay for rapidly distinguishing the AviPro SALMONELLA VAC T vaccine strain from wild-type field isolates

This molecular test is able to distinguish both Salmonella ser. Typhimurium types with 100% sensitivity and specificity within one working day. Health Topics:  Salmonellosis Salmonellose Salmonellose ...

Fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli isolates after exposure to non-fluoroquinolone antibiotics: a retrospective case–control study

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, Volume 75, Issue 7 (2020) Keywords: antibiotics Belgium Escherichia coli Fluoroquinolones Nitrofurantoin Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Combination urine specimens ...

Deep amplicon sequencing for culture-free prediction of susceptibility or resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs.

J (2020) Abstract: Conventional molecular tests for detecting complex (MTBC) drug resistance on clinical samples cover a limited set of mutations. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) typically requires culture. ...

Decreasing and stabilising trends of antimicrobial consumption and resistance in and in segmented regression analysis, European Union/European Economic Area, 2001 to 2018.

Development and validation of chromatographic methods for screening and subsequent quantification of suspected illegal antimicrobial drugs encountered on the Belgian market.

quantification method was validated for the positive hits found during screening tests of suspected illegal samples. This resulted in a validation set of 11 antimicrobials and 1 beta-lactamase inhibitor. The ...

Development and validation of chromatographic methods for screening and subsequent quantification of suspected illegal antimicrobial drugs encountered on the Belgian market

some SF-antimicrobials may include more than one antimicrobial component. This quantification method was validated for the positive hits found during screening tests of suspected illegal samples. This ...

RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

phenotypic Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) of M. tuberculosis (Mtb), multiple DNA-based methods were successfully introduced over the last years. Although these are fast and sensitive, they (a) are based on ...
