Detection of toxins involved in foodborne diseases caused by Gram‐positive bacteria
toxicological end points, solubility, and stability, types of food matrix to which they are mostly related to. These differences influence the characteristics of required detection methods. Therefore, detection ...
Laboratory Diagnosis of Bovine Abortions Caused by Non-Maintenance Pathogenic Leptospira spp.: Necropsy, Serology and Molecular Study Out of a Belgian Experience.
Source: Pathogens, Volume 9, Issue 6 (2020) Abstract: Bovine leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic spp. The pathology and epidemiology of this infection are influenced by the ...
Impact of DNA extraction on whole genome sequencing analysis for characterization and relatedness of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolates
study evaluated eight commercial DNA preparation kits for their potential influence on: (i) DNA quality for Nextera XT library preparation; (ii) MiSeq sequencing (data quality, read mapping against ...
In vitro toxicity, genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity of Nigella sativa extracts from different geographic locations
antigenotoxicity and co-genotoxicity were found. In this the results are somewhat in contradiction with previous reports. Actually, our results show that many factors may influence the outcome of an investigation. ...
Spatio-Temporal Monitoring and Modelling of Birch Pollen in Belgium
increase in the burden of allergic respiratory diseases. Air pollution can influence both allergens and allergic subjects by increasing the immune reaction, and/or by an intensified biogenic emissions. In ...
Long-term outcomes of very low birth weight infants with spontaneous intestinal perforation: A retrospective case-matched cohort study
differ between the two groups. Conclusion SIP survivors tend to be at risk of multiple disabilities. IVH and female gender influence the neurodevelopmental outcome regardless of SIP. Service: Évaluation ...
Physicochemical Characterisation of the E171 Food Additive
sample preparation protocols influencing particle dispersion (pH, probe sonication and centrifugation) were tested and optimized. In optimized conditions, representative TEM micrographs could be recorded, ...
RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
pump overexpression, and (d) ignore the multifactorial influence of compensatory mutations. Here, we introduce a next-generation diagnostic test based on quantification of antibiotic-specific RNA ...
Longitudinal monitoring of Culicoides in Belgium between 2007 and 2011: local variation in population dynamics parameters warrant cautious use of monitoring data.
of collection sites for Culicoides monitoring, even in a small country such as Belgium, strongly influences abundance parameters and that yearly variation in seasonality occurs. This emphasizes that ...
Farming, Q fever and public health: agricultural practices and beyond.
have provided new dynamics for transmission. This article provides a general overview of some factors that influence the epidemic potential of a zoonotic disease, Q fever. As an example of a disease ...
