Genetic relatedness of Staphylococcus aureus isolates within food outbreaks by single nucleotide polymorphisms.
this study, we propose a SNP cut-off by taking into account the mutation rate and the evolution time of this pathogen in food. Through in vitro microevolution, we determined the mutation rate of three S. ...
Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
specific surface area, shape, solubility and dissolution rate, agglomeration state, chemical composition and crystal structure. Data obtained by electron microscopy based methods on the physicochemical ...
The promotion of ultra-processed foods in modern retail food outlets in rural and urban areas in Kenya.

FT-IR spectroscopy as a rapid method for Salmonella spp. typing
for conclusions. The classifier’s accuracy is 85.2% at O-group level (84,2% for O:4; 93,3% for O:7; 83,3% for O:9). Serotypes that displayed the higher rate of misclassification were S. Typhimurium ...
Policy implementation and recommended actions to create healthy food environments using the Healthy Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI): a comparative analysis in South Asia
environment policies and infrastructure support in these countries was predominantly weak. Labelling, monitoring, and leadership policies received a moderate rating, with a focus on food safety, hygiene, and ...
The future burden of type 2 diabetes in Belgium: a microsimulation model.
Belgium, representing a 32.8% and 19.3% increase in T2D prevalence rate and DALY s rate, respectively. While T2D burden remained highest for lower-education subgroups across all three Belgian regions, the ...
Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
course of brucellosis and to estimate case-fatality rates. Additionally, reporting of methodological choices should be improved to enhance transparency and comparability of estimates. These steps will ...
The Africa Food Environment Research Network (FERN): from concept to practice.
increasing rates of overweight, obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases, alongside persistent undernutrition. This current paradigm requires expanded efforts — both in the volume and nature of ...
An assessment of implementation gaps and priority recommendations on food environment policies: the Healthy Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI) in Japan
health experts rated the extent of implementation of food environment-related Policy and the Infrastructure-support components, compared with international best practices. Subsequently, the experts ...
Benchmarking public policies to create healthy food environments compared to best practice: the Healthy Food Environment Policy Index in Guatemala.
during on-site workshops and those actions were prioritized by importance and achievability. RESULTS: The expert panel rated implementation at zero for 26% of the indicators, very low for 28% of ...
