Update of the risk assessment of nickel in food and drinking water
1.3 mg Ni/kg body weight (bw) per day was selected as the reference point for the establishment of a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 13 μg/kg bw. Eczematous flare‐up reactions in the skin elicited in ...
Risk assessment of chlorinated paraffins in feed and food
as the target organ. The Panel selected as reference points a BMDL10 of 2.3 mg/kg bw per day for increased incidence of nephritis in male rats, and of 36 mg/kg bw per day for increased relative kidney ...
Listeria surveillance in Belgium
strains are voluntarily sent to the National Reference Center (NRC). Identity confirmation is performed using biochemical assays and serotyping by slide agglutination. Since 2018, according to recent ...

Molecular surveillance of rising fluoroquinolone resistance in non-invasive S. pneumoniae isolates in Belgium collected in a survey (1995-2014)
moxifloxacin resistance, contrasting current model. Interestingly, 85/422 pneumococcal strains display MICCIP values which were lowered by at least four dilutions by reserpine, pointing at involvement of efflux ...
Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Salmonella Enteritidis PT4 Outbreaks from a National Reference Laboratory's Viewpoint.
egg-related outbreaks of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) were investigated by the Belgian National Reference Laboratory of Foodborne Outbreaks. Both the suspected food ...
Biological activity conferred by endocrine disrupting chemicals in hospital effluent and river water from the Brussels Region, Belgium
assess endocrine activity by comparing the mixture or cocktail effect originating from the sample extract. Added value is that this technique picks up effects from compounds that are not ...
