Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
bacterium that occurs as a contaminant in food and feed, occasionally resulting in food poisoning through the production of various toxins. In this study, we retrospectively characterized viable B. cereus ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...

Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
2 weeks after receipt of the sample, which was freshly prepared tartar sauce in a meal cooked at the school. Our team used this outbreak as a case study to deliver a proof of concept for a short-read ...
A detailed mapping of the food industry in the European single market: similarities and differences in market structure across countries and sectors
countries the same leading quick-service restaurants were identified, while this was not the case for supermarkets. Conclusions: This study forms an important basis to understand key aspects of market ...
Consumer and food product determinants of food wasting: A case study on chicken meat
worldwide, particularly regarding households. This study aims to identify household food wasting segments and to assess the relationship between both consumer and food product determinants and the identified ...
A shotgun metagenomics approach to detect and characterize unauthorized genetically modified microorganisms in microbial fermentation products
study, this approach was performed on a case with a previously isolated and sequenced GMM, an unresolved case for which no isolate was obtained, and a non‐ GMM ‐contaminated sample, all repre- sentative ...
Identifying nanodescriptors to predict the toxicity of nanomaterials: a case study on titanium dioxide
experimental variations determine the outcome of modelling using three case studies. We used TiO2in vitro data from our previously published study as case study 1 and two other external case studies (case study ...
Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
problem. To ensure public health, it is imperative to characterize the risks related to these toxins. The present study aims to conduct a dietary exposure assessment of citrinin (CIT) and ochratoxin A (OTA) ...
