Introduction of WGS in food microbiology: advantages and challenges
Keywords: antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Food Safety foodborne outbreak investigation Monitoring SciCom Whole genome sequencing (WGS) Abstract: In October 2021 the Scientific Committee of the Federal Agency ...
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 ...

NAuRA: Genomic Tool to Identify Staphylococcal Enterotoxins in Strains Responsible for FoodBorne Outbreaks.
diversity Abstract: Food contamination by staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE s) is responsible for many food poisoning outbreaks (FPO s) each year, and they represent the third leading cause of FPO s in Europe. ...
Impact of DNA extraction on whole genome sequencing analysis for characterization and relatedness of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolates.
laboratories is essential to support foodborne pathogen control, including outbreak investigation. This study evaluated eight commercial DNA preparation kits for their potential influence on: (i) DNA quality for ...
