Characterization of a Bacteriophage GEC_vB_Bfr_UZM3 Active against.
represent a strictly lytic phage belonging to a siphovirus morphotype. It is characterized by high stability at body temperature and in pH environments for about 6 h. Whole genome sequencing analysis of the ...
Homologous versus heterologous prime-boost COVID-19 vaccination: impact on clinical severity of Omicron among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Belgium
confirmed by whole genome sequencing and vaccinated with a homologous (mRNA for prime/mRNA for boost) or heterologous (viral vector for prime/mRNA for boost) prime-boost vaccination schedule were included in ...
Targeted Chromosomal Barcoding Establishes Direct Genotype-Phenotype Associations for Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus.
anticipate a future when a plethora of antibiotic-resistant strains will be isolated and sequenced. However, in the era of whole-genome sequencing, one of the challenges is to unequivocally assign a biological ...
Keeping our food safe: the use of sequencing technologies for foodborne outbreak investigations

Development of a Droplet Digital PCR to Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant BA.2 in Wastewater Samples
RT-ddPCR method that targets the T19I amino acid mutation in the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 genomes, which is specific to the BA.2 variant (omicron). The T19I assay was evaluated both in silico and in ...
Homologous and Heterologous Prime-Boost Vaccination: Impact on Clinical Severity of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Infection among Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in Belgium
