Epidemiology and molecular typing of multidrug-resistant bacteria in tertiary hospitals and nursing homes in Flanders, Belgium
to previous studies, and transmission in and between institutions is observed. These results re-emphasize the need for a healthcare network-wide infection prevention strategy in which WGS of MDRO ...
BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese
following ISO 11290 – 1 and – 2. A human strain was collected at the NRC Listeria. All isolated strains underwent serotyping for further characterisation at the NRC Listeria, and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS ...
Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Screening of MRSA in Patients and Healthcare Workers in Public Hospitals in Benin.
and confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in Belgium. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was used on the confirmed MRSA isolates, to characterize their ...
Transforming Shiga toxin-producing surveillance through whole genome sequencing in food safety practices.
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) is a gastrointestinal pathogen causing foodborne outbreaks. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in STEC surveillance holds promise in outbreak prevention and ...
Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Genome Sequence Analysis: Putative Spatio-Temporal Epidemiology, Single Gene versus Whole Genome Phylogeny and Genomic Evolution.
a whole-genome-sequence (WGS)-based phylogeny and compared it with single-gene-based phylogenies. To study population and spatiotemporal patterns in greater detail, we reconstructed networks. We determined that there are ...
Towards a new (H)ERA: Developments to strengthen infectious diseases surveillance and pandemic preparedness
preparedness, a high capacity and interoperable infrastructure is crucial. Furthermore, the advent of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in the field of microbiology allows for higher microbial subtyping. In ...
