Prevalence Survey of antimicrobial consumption (Global- PPS) were simultaneously performed in Belgian acute care hospitals in 2017. Methods: Belgian acute care hospitals were invited to participate in either ...
NAuRA: Genomic Tool to Identify Staphylococcal Enterotoxins in Strains Responsible for FoodBorne Outbreaks.
SE s constitute a protein family with 27 proteins. However, enzyme immunoassays can only detect directly in food the five classical SE s (SEA- SEE). Thus, molecular characterization methods of strains ...
