Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
et al. 2021). Discussion Our results showed that the combination of whole genome amplification, metagenomics and adaptive sampling using a database of S. aureus genomes outperformed shotgun ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
indications for genotoxicity were obtained. Finally, no formation of smaller particles following colonic fermentation of NC was observed. For the integration of these results in regulatory hazard assessment of ...
ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings
were analysed for Salmonella spp. using real-time PCR. Whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis of isolates of probable cases and positive food samples is still ongoing. Results We identified 62 probable ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
each other, and also to the results obtained with conventional methods. Results: A commercial kit was selected and optimized for the extraction of sufficient high-molecular weight DNA, to match the needs ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
Next, the dietary exposure of the Belgian population to mineral oil was assessed by combining the analytical results with consumption data of the Belgian Food Consumption Survey. Overall, the exposure to ...
