Development of a Luminex xTAG® assay for cost-effective multiplex detection of β-lactamases in Gram-negative bacteria.
probe targeting a conserved 16S rRNA region serving as a DNA extraction control. The assay was optimized using a collection of 48 reference strains and further validated using 105 foodborne ESBL-producing ...
Physical activity and sedentary behavior in Belgium (BNFCS2014): design, methods and expected outcomes.
international guidelines and analyzed according to several background variables, such as age, gender, Body Mass Index, education level and region. Such results are aimed to underpin future policies in the field ...
Development and performance assessment of a qualitative SYBR® green real-time PCR assay for the detection of Aspergillus versicolor in indoor air.
versicolor, which is frequently observed in indoor environment and known to be allergenic. The developed primers amplify a short region of the internal transcribed spacer 1 from the 18S ribosomal DNA complex. ...

Validation of a sensitive DNA walking strategy to characterise unauthorised GMOs using model food matrices mimicking common rice products
Food Chemistry, Volume 173 (2015) Keywords: detection DNA walking Rice food SENSITIVITY Transgene flanking region Unauthorised GMO Abstract: To identify unauthorised GMO s in food and feed matrices, an ...
Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic sheep in Belgium.
Antwerp (65.2%) and Wallonia (68.6%) are statistically lower than in the other regions in Belgium (96.7-97.8%) (P <0.05). The present study is the first report that analyzed the prevalence of T. gondii ...
Characterization of suspected illegal skin whitening cosmetics.
décolleté for local depigmentation of hyper pigmented regions or more importantly, for a generalized reduction of the skin tone. These cosmetic products are suspected to contain illegal active substances that ...
