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, ...

Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing

Publication Type: Dissertation Authors: Bert Bogaerts Source: Ghent University, Gh, p.250 (2021) Keywords: bioinformatics public health VALIDATION whole-genome sequencing Abstract: Whole genome ...

Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing

The performance of detection and quantification of low-frequency variants using whole genome sequencing (WGS) of SARS-CoV-2 remains largely unknown. Here, we evaluated the detection and quantification ...

WGS- versus ORF5-Based Typing of PRRSV: A Belgian Case Study.

database is available. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on a collection of 124 PRRSV-1 positive serum samples that were collected over a 5-year period (2015-2019) in Belgium. Our ...

Retrospective evaluation of routine whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the Belgian National Reference Center, 2019.

switched from conventional typing to prospective whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of all submitted complex (MTB) isolates. The ISO17025 validated procedure starts with semi-automated extraction and purification ...

Strategy to Develop and Evaluate a Multiplex RT-ddPCR in Response to SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Evolution.

continuously evolving worldwide. In the present study, we proposed a methodology based on an in silico and in vitro analysis. First, we used all information offered by available whole-genome sequencing data for ...

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 ...

Coverage of the national surveillance system for human Salmonella infections, Belgium, 2016-2020.

over time, to estimate the true burden of salmonellosis in Belgium, and to evaluate the appropriateness of implementing whole-genome sequencing (WGS) at this central level. METHODS: The coverage of the ...
