Staphylococcal enterotoxin gene cluster: prediction of enterotoxin (SEG and SEI) production and of the source of food poisoning based on Saβ typing.

using commercially available kits.Six genes (and), encoding putative and undetectable enterotoxins, are located on the enterotoxin gene cluster () which is part of the genomic island Saβ. These ...

The Benefits of Whole Genome Sequencing for Foodborne Outbreak Investigation from the Perspective of a National Reference Laboratory in a Smaller Country.

enabled an accurate cluster definition, which remained unsolved for the 2013 outbreak, partly due to scarce epidemiological linking with the suspect source. Moreover, it allowed detecting two and one ...

Use of a Whole Genome Sequencing-based approach for Mycobacterium tuberculosis surveillance in Europe in 2017-2019: an ECDC pilot study.

comparability.From 25 countries, 2218 RR / MDR- MTBC isolates were collected. Fifty-six cross-border clusters with increased likelihood of recent transmission (≤5 SNP s distance) comprising a total of 316 RR / MDR- ...

Phylogeography of Human and Animal Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium.

Sequencing (WGS) (n=4) methods were used to characterize samples/strains during 2009-2019. Three MLVA clusters (A, B, C) subdivided in 23 subclusters (A1- A12, B1- B8, C1- C3) and 3 SNP types (SNP1, SNP2, ...

Psycho-social factors related to obesity and their associations with socioeconomic characteristics: the RECORD study.

participants aged 30-79 years living in the Paris region between 2011 and 2014. Factor analyses followed by cluster analysis were applied to identify psycho-social profiles related to obesity. The two ...

Is the European Health Interview Survey online yet? Response and net sample composition of a web-based data collection.

organized using the EHIS wave 3 model questionnaire. The sample was selected according to a multistage, clustered sampling procedure with geographical stratification. Field substitution was applied; ...

Listeria surveillance in Belgium

evolution in molecular typing, the NRC completely switched to Whole-Genome-Sequencing (WGS) for cluster detection. Therefore, an in-house Galaxy-based bio-informatic pipeline was developed. For the strain ...
