Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Otmar Geiss; Ivana Bianchi; Guillaume Bucher; Eveline Verleysen; Frederic Brassinne; Jan Mast; Katrin Loeschner; Lucas Givelet; Francesco Cubadda; Francesca Ferraris; Andrea Raggi; Francesca Iaco ...
Retrospective evaluation of routine whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the Belgian National Reference Center, 2019.
switched from conventional typing to prospective whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of all submitted complex (MTB) isolates. The ISO17025 validated procedure starts with semi-automated extraction and purification ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
conventional analysis based on isolation, serotyping and MLVA (multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis) comparison, followed by whole-genome sequencing, to confirm the source of the contamination over ...
Precision cancer medicine: What has translated into clinical use in Belgium?
A national benchmarking trial ensued, and 10 networks of hospitals and laboratories adopted a reimbursement convention with the Belgian Health Insurance Agency. The Healthdata.be platform centralizes the ...
Phylogenomic Investigation of Increasing Fluoroquinolone Resistance among Belgian Cases of Shigellosis between 2013 and 2018 Indicates Both Travel-Related Imports and Domestic Circulation.
species, several clusters of isolates obtained exclusively from male patients were observed. Additionally, we illustrated the limitations of conventional serotyping of, which was impacted by serotype ...
4DEMON: Integrating 40 Years of Data on PCB and Metal Contamination in Marine Sediments of the Belgian Part of the North Sea
highly standardized trend modeling approaches like those proposed by regional sea conventions such as OSPAR, named after the Oslo and Paris conventions.Therefore, we applied alternative approaches, ...
A Bioinformatics Whole-Genome Sequencing Workflow for Clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolate Analysis, Validated Using a Reference Collection Extensively Characterized with Conventional Methods and In Silico Approaches
For (MTB), in particular, WGS has the benefit of drastically reducing the time to generate results compared to most conventional phenotypic methods. Consequently, a multitude of solutions for analyzing ...
Validation strategy of a bioinformatics whole genome sequencing workflow for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli using a reference collection extensively characterized with conventional methods
read mapping with SRST2. A collection of 131 STEC isolates collected from food and human sources, extensively characterized with conventional molecular methods, was used as a validation dataset. Using ...
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. ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
outbreak depends on the rapid and accurate identification of the responsible food source. Conventional methods based on isolation of the pathogen from the food matrix and target-specific real-time polymerase ...
