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

adaptive sampling, following whole genome amplification to increase the amount of genetic material to meet sequencing standards. The strain-level data analysis was performed as previously described (Buytaers ...

Listeria surveillance in Belgium

evolution in molecular typing, the NRC completely switched to Whole-Genome-Sequencing (WGS) for cluster detection. Therefore, an in-house Galaxy-based bio-informatic pipeline was developed. For the strain ...

Comparative genomics of quinolone-resistant and susceptible Campylobacter jejuni of poultry origin from major poultry producing European countries (GENCAMP)

quinolone resistance Abstract: A total of 502 Campylobacter jejuni isolates from poultry in 12 different European countries (10 of them the largest poultry production countries in Europe) were whole genome ...
