Strain-Level Metagenomic Data Analysis of Enriched In Vitro and In Silico Spiked Food Samples: Paving the Way towards a Culture-Free Foodborne Outbreak Investigation Using STEC as a Case Study.
Keersmaecker Source: Int J Mol Sci, Volume 21, Issue 16 (2020) Keywords: foodborne outbreak investigation public health strain-level metagenomics Abstract: Culture-independent diagnostics, such as metagenomic ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
characterization as well as tracing the origin of the contamination by linking the food isolate with the patient’s isolate with high resolution. However, the isolation of a bacterial pathogen from food matrices is ...
The Benefits of Whole Genome Sequencing for Foodborne Outbreak Investigation from the Perspective of a National Reference Laboratory in a Smaller Country.
earlier circulating STEC O157: H7 (+, +, +) and STEC O157: H7 (+, +) strains as closely related to the 2012 and 2013 outbreaks, respectively, which might have further directed epidemiological investigation ...
NAuRA: Genomic Tool to Identify Staphylococcal Enterotoxins in Strains Responsible for FoodBorne Outbreaks.
responsible for outbreaks in Europe as well as the RefSeq reference database. Based on phylogenetic inference performed using maximum-likelihood on the core genomes of the strains in this collection, we ...
The burden of legionnaires’ disease in Belgium, 2013 to 2017
Legionnaires' Disease Abstract: Background Legionnaires’ disease (LD) is a severe bacterial infection causing pneumonia. Surveillance commonly underestimates the true incidence as not all cases are laboratory ...
Occurrence and identification of spore-forming bacteria in skim-milk powders
spore-forming bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus, can be challenging for the industry to meet. Twenty-two samples of medium-heat skim-milk spray-dried powder from eight sources were analysed in triplicate with 16 ...
The seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus infection in Belgium anno 2002 and 2006: a comparative analysis with hepatitis A virus seroprevalence
as well as relying on mixture models applied to continuous pathogen-specific immunoglobulin G antibody titre concentrations. The age-specific seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV), based on three ...
Burden and Risk Assessment of Foodborne Disease
gastroenteritis, caused by intestinal infection by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The actual scope of foodborne disease is however much broader than this. Intestinal infections with common pathogens such as ...
Global burden of intellectual disability resulting from prenatal exposure to methylmercury, 2015
(MeHg). An intelligence quotient < 70, indicating intellectual disability (ID), was selected as the critical disease, maternal hair Hg concentration during pregnancy selected as the critical exposure ...
Global burden of late-stage chronic kidney disease resulting from dietary exposure to cadmium, 2015
calculated as the proportion of humans whose GFR fall in the ranges corresponding to Stage 4 or Stage 5 CKD. The increase in the CKD prevalence due to cadmium exposure was simulated based on a previously ...
