Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices

identified by Raman microspectroscopy. As a side supporting technique, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been employed to investigate the size, shape and the ...

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

Keersmaecker Source: BSFM, BSFM, Brussels, Belgium (2023) Keywords: adaptive sampling nanopore outbreak investigation shotgun metagenomics Abstract: Introduction Traditionally, the investigation of suspect food ...

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 ...

Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms

identify SNV s of interest. To investigate if the performance of this targeted high-throughput sequencing approach is compatible with the performance criteria used in the GMO detection field, several samples ...

ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings

Salmonella Typhimurium infections. Epidemiological and traceback investigations revealed a multi-country outbreak linked to chocolate products from a Belgian factory of an international brand. Microbiological ...

Cyanotoxins and Food Contamination in Developing Countries: Review of Their Types, Toxicity, Analysis, Occurrence and Mitigation Strategies

a real risk to the exposed population. Assessment of cyanotoxin contamination in foods from developing countries still requires further investigations by conducting more survey studies, especially the ...

Development of a reliable UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of zearalenone and zearalenone-14-glucoside in various feed products

and it was then successfully applied to investigate a total of 60 feed samples. Among them, 50 samples were found to be contaminated with ZEN (an incidence of 83.3%) at levels ranging from 0.63 to ...

Knowledge, attitude, and practices of the community and meat industry workers towards Taenia saginata taeniosis and bovine cysticercosis in and around Jimma and Ambo towns of Ethiopia

cysticercosis are prevalent in Ethiopia, however, data on the knowledge/attitude, and practice (KAP) of the community and meat industry workers in this regard is scarce. The present study aimed to investigate the ...

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

investigation and clinical/veterinary diagnostics. This could also allow a better understanding of infectious diseases and accurate risk (safety) assessment in food safety issues. However, before it can be used ...
