BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese

following ISO 11290 – 1 and – 2. A human strain was collected at the NRC Listeria. All isolated strains underwent serotyping for further characterisation at the NRC Listeria, and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) ...

Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling

resolved. Shotgun metagenomics is a sequencing method involving the analysis of the genetic material directly extracted from a sample, without the need for an isolation of the bacteria. By sequencing and ...

Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health

defined as the study of all genetic material within a sample, using sequencing technologies. Shotgun metagenomics is capable of detecting a wide range of microorganisms in a sample, as well as their ...

Detection of regulated and prohibited plants in plant food supplements

OMCL is involved in two projects to tackle this problem. In the first a DNA metabarcoding approach is developed. In short DNA is extracted from the complex mixture, followed by next-generation sequencing ...
