Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies

refers to the amount and type of microorganisms present in a sample and reflects the level of biological contamination and associated potential health risks upon consumption of the product. We initially ...

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

have always been analyzed and characterized after isolation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has been possible to characterize the complete genome of these isolates to the SNP level ...

Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing

time-optimized sequencing experiments (with and without the real-time analysis protocol) that maintain a predefined level of performance for the bioinformatics analysis. Afterwards, a method for pathogen ...

DETERMINATION OF SENSITIZING AND IRRITATING LEACHABLES IN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS

the Acceptable Exposure Level (AEL) and Daily Exposure Dose (DED) were calculated and compared to each other in the context of a quantitative health risk assessment (QHRA) for sensitization. The DED did ...

Vaccine preventable bacterial diseases in Belgium: monitoring of general population immunity and pregnancy vaccination strategies

vaccination coverage. In this thesis, we have monitored the population immunity level in Belgium in different age groups and studied the immune responses in the context of pregnancy vaccination strategies ...

Innate signaling by mycolate esters of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and relevance for development of adjuvants for subunit vaccines

shown to be dependent on the Mincle pathway. Our results demonstrated that the classes of MA s bound to sugar do not consistently impact the level of pro-inflammatory and adjuvant responses induced. ...
