Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
slide-agglutination technique. This PhD work showed that a targeted molecular method such as the MOL- PCR & Luminex technology, even though not the most complete technique as compared to WGS, has the potential to improve the ...
Exploiting the Advantages of Molecular Tools for the Monitoring of Fungal Indoor Air Contamination: First Detection of in Indoor Air of Air-Conditioned Offices.
protocols are culture-based, but these are unable to detect the uncultivable and/or dead fraction or species suppressed by fast-growing fungi, even though this fraction could impact health. Among the ...

CF are acute or recurrent respiratory problems (42.2%) and failure to thrive (24.4%). About 18.7% were diagnosed via neonatal screening even though Belgium had no national neonatal screening program at ...
Assessing the endocrine activity of PAHs using the DRE-, ERE- and PPARγ CALUX bioassays
(MOAH). The occurrence of mineral oil in food has been reported in the past, with concentrations that often reach 0.1% and can even approach 1% in some exceptional cases. These compounds can enter the food ...
Comparative dissolution study on substandard and falsified antibiotics encountered in Belgium
equivalences of dissolution profiles between SF antimicrobials and genuine products. The potential low drug efficacy induced by improper dissolution of SF antimicrobials could aggravate illness and even promote ...
Determinants of unit nonresponse in multi-mode data collection: A multilevel analysis.
interviewer effects were found. Almost half (46.6%) of the variability in nonresponse was attributable to the interviewers, even in the analyses controlling for the area as potential confounder. Partial ...
