Staphylococcal enterotoxin gene cluster: prediction of enterotoxin (SEG and SEI) production and of the source of food poisoning based on Saβ typing.
enterotoxins have been described as likely being involved in staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks.The aim of the present study was to determine if whole genome data can be used for the prediction of ...
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.
simulated metagenomic data to explore the possibilities and limitations of this data analysis approach. The performed analysis allowed us to link the pathogenic strains from food samples to human isolates ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
Sigrid C.J. De Keersmaecker Source: Microorganisms, Volume 8, Issue 8 (2020) Keywords: food surveillance Metagenomics outbreak SNP analysis STEC whole genome Abstract: The management of a foodborne ...
NAuRA: Genomic Tool to Identify Staphylococcal Enterotoxins in Strains Responsible for FoodBorne Outbreaks.
found in food are now used for FPO investigations. Here, we describe the development and implementation of a genomic analysis tool called NA uRA (Nice automatic Research of alleles) that can detect the ...
The burden of legionnaires’ disease in Belgium, 2013 to 2017
s per case (95% UI: 1.67–4.65) and 8147 (95% UI: 4453–12,426) total DALY s in Belgium in 2017, which corresponds to 71.96 (95% UI: 39.33–109.75) DALY s per 100,000 persons. Conclusions This analysis ...

Global burden of intellectual disability resulting from prenatal exposure to methylmercury, 2015
biomarker, and a dose-effect relationship of an 0.18 point IQ reduction per µg/g increase in maternal hair Hg was assumed, based on a meta-analysis. A systematic review was conducted to obtain country-specific ...
Use of next‐generation sequencing in microbial risk assessment
applications are not new in food microbiology with applications ranging from pathogen detection along the food chain, food epidemiology studies, whole genome analysis of food‐associated microorganisms up to ...
Prioritisation of food-borne parasites in Europe, 2016.
following a recommendation from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO), 35 European parasitologists attended a workshop from 8-12 February 2016 ...
Comparison of Droplet Digital PCR and qPCR for the Quantification of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Bovine Feces.
genes stx1 and stx2 and the intimin gene eae quantification was optimized for ddPCR analysis. The properties of ddPCR and qPCR using two different mastermixes (EMM: TaqMan(®) Environmental Master Mix 2.0; ...
