Multicenter interlaboratory study of routine systems for the susceptibility testing of temocillin using a challenge panel of multidrug-resistant strains.
strains. Forty-seven selected clinical isolates were blindly analyzed by 12 Belgian laboratories using VITEK ® 2 (n = 5) and BD Phoenix™ (n = 3) automated systems, ETEST ® gradient strip (n = 3), and disk (3 brands) ...
Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Humboldt Penguins—Susceptibility Patterns andMolecular Epidemiology of Clinical and Environmental Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates from a Belgian Zoo
2021–2022. From these samples, potential azole-resistant A. fumigatus (ARAF) isolates were detected using a selective culture medium. A total of 28 veterinary isolates obtained after necropsy of Humboldt ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
characterization had only been achieved in a handful of studies, and had not been proven possible when more than one strain of the same species were present. Moreover, the genome obtained from metagenomics sequences ...
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
From the obtained results, the Quick- DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was selected as producing the best yield of pure HMW DNA. Furthermore, this kit allowed an accurate detection, by Nanopore ...
Assessment of information as regards the toxicity of T‐2 and HT‐2 toxin for ruminants
‐2 (HT2) toxin in food and feed. No observed adverse effect levels (NOAEL s) and lowest observed adverse effect levels (LOAEL s) were derived for different animal species. In ruminants a LOAEL was ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
species in various concentrations and carrying AMR and/or virulence genes, taking the specific need of each application into account. Moreover, the short read and long read approaches are being compared to ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
different protocols and is restricted to some selected recreational ponds and lakes. Therefore, a global assessment based on the comparison of existing datasets is not possible. For this study, 79 water ...
Large diversity of linezolid-resistant isolates discovered in food-producing animals through linezolid selective monitoring in Belgium in 2019.
including Belgium. OBJECTIVES: To: (i) assess LR occurrence in staphylococci and enterococci isolated from different Belgian food-producing animals in 2019 through selective monitoring; and (ii) investigate the ...
Tree pollen allergy risks and changes across scenarios in urban green spaces in Brussels, Belgium
species and that are amplified by environmental change, highlighting the importance of careful tree species selection in urban green space policy and planning. Health Topics: Biodiversity Pollen allergy ...
Retrospective survey of unauthorized genetically modified bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistance genes in feed additive vitamin B2 commercialized in Belgium: Challenges and solutions
allowing to provide a first picture of GM bacterial contaminations. It consisted in a first-line screening strategy gathering available PCR-based methods targeting both the B. subtilis species, frequently ...
