Development of a shotgun metagenomics workflow for the comprehensive surveillance of biological impurities in vitamin-containing food products
resistance genes. Existing control strategies rely on targeted PCR-based methods, unsuitable to detect untargeted or unknown impurities. In this study, we developed an open shotgun metagenomic sequencing ...

BSFM 2024- Reported food-borne outbreaks in Belgium, 2023
outbreaks, collects and centralizes the information on food-borne outbreaks (FBO s) and assures the follow-up of the FBO s in Belgium. Materials and Methods A food-borne outbreak is defined as an incidence, ...
An interlaboratory proficiency test using metagenomic sequencing as a diagnostic tool for the detection of RNA viruses in swine fecal material.
sequencing (mNGS) can serve as a generic molecular diagnostic tool. An mNGS proficiency test (PT) was performed in six European veterinary and public health laboratories to detect porcine astroviruses in fecal ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
Foods,-, Paris, France (2023) Keywords: analytical methods food matrices microplastics nanoplastics Abstract: In the last decades, our life style significantly changed, for instance in terms of consumption ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
