Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
common. All isolates carried multiple genes encoding virulence factors, including cytotoxin K-2 (52.78%) and cereulide (22.22%). Most isolates were predicted to be resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
quinones altertoxin I (ATX-I), ATX- II, ATX- III, alterperylenol (ALP), and stemphyltoxin III (STTX- III) showed in vitro genotoxic and mutagenic properties. Of all identified Alternaria toxins, the ...
Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
questionnaires on socio-demographic characteristics, diet, certain risk factors for chronic diseases, intake of food supplements, general environment, housing and life behaviours such as smoking. All participants ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
various living organisms or the cultivation parameters. Moreover, the current methods require a subsequent but not always successful isolation. In part due to these two drawbacks, not all outbreaks can be ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
based on the sequencing of all genetic material of the sample without isolation has become available some years ago, e.g. shotgun metagenomics. It allows to get a screenshot of every microbiological ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
sequencing, of almost all the bacterial species present in a complex mock community. Conclusion: Amongst the 6 tested methods, the Quick- DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was considered as the most suitable ...

Microbiological safety of aged meat.
present in all aged meats included Shiga toxin-producing (STEC), spp.,,, enterotoxigenic spp., spp. and spp. Moulds, such as spp. and spp., may produce mycotoxins when conditions are favourable but may be ...
The cost of healthy versus current diets in the Netherlands for households with a low, middle and high education.
more expensive. For households with a low, medium and high education, healthy diets were on average 10% (€17), 26% (€50) and 36% (€72) more expensive compared to current diets, respectively. All healthy ...
