A genomic appraisal of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium and associated antibiotic resistance in sub-Saharan Africa.
sequence data from 1303 S. Typhimurium isolates originating from 19 African countries and isolated between 1979 and 2017, here we show a thorough scaled appraisal of the population structure of iNTS disease ...
Genomic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants using sentinel SARI hospital surveillance.
patients fulfilling the Belgian SARI definition between January 2020 and December 2022 were sequenced using the ARTIC Network amplicon tiling approach on a MinION platform. Weekly variant of concern (VOC) ...
Virological surveillance of influenza in Belgium, season 2019-2020
viruses fell in the 6B. 1A5A subgroup represented by the reference strain A/Norway/3433/2018. About half of the sequenced A(H3N2) viruses belonged to the clade 3C.2a1 and the remaining belonged to the ...
Targeted Chromosomal Barcoding Establishes Direct Genotype-Phenotype Associations for Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus.
Gonzalo-Asensio, Jesús Source: Microbiol Spectr (2023) Abstract: A bedaquiline-resistant Mycobacterium abscessus isolate was sequenced, and a candidate mutation in the gene was identified as responsible for the ...
Report on an initial assessment of long-read sequencing for metagenome (community and AMR) analysis (defined community, spiked and real simple and complex matrices) and comparison to current short-read standard

Evaluation of a Liquid Media MALDI-TOF MS Protocol for the Identification of Dermatophytes Isolated from Infections.
conventional identification methods (direct exam, culture, DNA sequencing) are time-consuming, require experienced staff, are time-consuming, and the latter is expensive for routine identifications. ...
