Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling

metagenomics and adaptive sampling using other databases. It allowed strain-level analysis of foodborne outbreaks without the need for culture enrichment, thereby enabling faster investigations and facilitating ...

A multi-country One Health foodborne outbreak simulation exercise: cross-sectoral cooperation, data sharing and communication.

has increased in recent years. However, there remains an overall inertia in relation to the implementation of practical cross-sector collaborations. Foodborne outbreaks of zoonotic diseases continue to ...

Transforming Shiga toxin-producing surveillance through whole genome sequencing in food safety practices.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) is a gastrointestinal pathogen causing foodborne outbreaks. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in STEC surveillance holds promise in outbreak prevention and ...

Keeping our food safe: the use of sequencing technologies for foodborne outbreak investigations

sequencing technologies Abstract: Keeping our food safe:  how the sequencing technologies can be used for foodborne outbreak investigations (WGS and metagenomics) Health Topics:  Food consumption and food ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety

retrieved when two strains of the same species were present. The same protocol was then followed to investigate a real Salmonella foodborne outbreak. Two food samples were investigated and the Salmonella ...

Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health

conventional methods in e.g. the field of pathogen detection/characterization along the food chain, starting from the food production environment (including detection of AMR genes) until foodborne outbreak ...

Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak

Salmonella SNP analysis strain-level Abstract: Food-borne outbreak investigation currently relies on the time-consuming and challenging bacterial isolation from food, to be able to link food-derived strains to ...

Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies

routine laboratory practices to investigate food samples in case of foodborne outbreaks still rely on attempts to isolate the pathogen in order to characterize it. We present in this study a proof of ...

Whole Genome Sequencing Provides an Added Value to the Investigation of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Outbreaks

their potential link within foodborne outbreak investigation. In addition to complete se gene profiling, relatedness between isolates is determined with more certainty using pulsed-field gel ...
