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 ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety

It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...

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 ...

Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.

Here, we use whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to assess the genomic diversity of hypervirulent, virulent and non-virulent phenotypes of 15 L. monocytogenes isolated from snails to unveil their survival, ...

Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak

conventional analysis based on isolation, serotyping and MLVA (multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis) comparison, followed by whole-genome sequencing, to confirm the source of the contamination over ...

Food Chemistry, Function and AnalysisDNA Techniques to Verify Food Authenticity CHAPTER 8. GMO Detection and Identification Using Next-generation Sequencing

approaches can be applied. The whole-genome sequencing approach, on the one hand, requires no prior knowledge, and is suitable for the characterization of samples containing an isolated single GMO. The ...

Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes

sequences of more than 230 000 Salmonella isolates), from the scientific literature and from genomic studies using publicly available and in-house produced Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data (achieving ...
