Comparing the applicability of de facto population markers for spatiotemporal trend analysis in wastewater-based epidemiology
analysing human excretion products in wastewater. Here, accurate population normalization is essential to ensure correct exposure estimates. Prior work often assumes a fixed population size, which can lead to ...
The International cookbook for wastewater practitioners- Vol. 1 SARS-CoV-2
have contributed to each part, primarily from the European Union, as well as others from the global community of practice. The Cookbook has been drafted by a global team of authors, with one or more lead ...
Aanpak van urineweginfecties in woonzorgcentra in België: praktische adviezen op basis van 2 studies
antimicrobial resistance in this setting is increasing, which leads to an elevated risk of acquiring infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Two studies within the framework of a doctoral research KU ...
Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Use in Belgian Acute Care Hospitals: Results of the 2022 ECDC Point Prevalence Survey
resistance (AMR) pose significant challenges in healthcare systems worldwide, leading to prolonged hospital stays, increased costs, and elevated morbidity and mortality rates. The 2017 European Centre for ...
Trauma Exposure, Social Support and Mental Health in the General Population in Belgium
International research has shown that trauma exposure can lead to mental health disorders and affect social support. However, there is little insight into trauma exposure and its related issues in the general ...
Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022
rate, and PMM oV. Flow rate and PMM oV were associated with-13.0 % (95 % prediction interval:-26.1 to +0.2 %) and +13.0 % (95 % prediction interval: +5.1 to +21.0 %) change in RNA levels per SD increase, ...
Risk Factors Associated with Severe RSV Infection in Infants: What Is the Role of Viral Co-Infections?
Abstract: The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) represents the leading cause of viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in children worldwide and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality ...
Evaluation of a Liquid Media MALDI-TOF MS Protocol for the Identification of Dermatophytes Isolated from Infections.
Identification of clinical isolates with MALDI- TOF MS protocol requires a sub-culturing step to ensure reliable identification. It can take days to weeks before fungal growth appears on solid medium. In this ...
The bacteriophage LUZ24 "Igy" peptide inhibits the Pseudomonas DNA gyrase.
gyrase activity and interacts with the P. aeruginosa GyrB subunit, possibly by DNA mimicry, as indicated by a de novo model of the peptide and mutagenesis. In vivo, overproduction of Igy blocks DNA ...
