The bacteriophage LUZ24 "Igy" peptide inhibits the Pseudomonas DNA gyrase.
replication and leads to cell death also in fluoroquinolone-resistant bacterial isolates. These data highlight the potential of discovering phage-inspired leads for antibiotics development, supported by ...
Leveraging of SARS-CoV-2 PCR Cycle Thresholds Values to Forecast COVID-19 Trends.
levels, underlining that consolidated microbiology laboratories can act as epidemic sensors as they gather data that are representative of the geographical area they serve. Health Topics: SARS-CoV-2 ...
Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Antimicrobial Resistance Characterization and Phylogenomic Investigation of 19 Multidrug-Resistant and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Positive Escherichia coli Strains Collected From Hospital Patients in Benin in 2019.
publicly available genome data. Among the 19 isolates, 13 different sequence types (ST s) were observed, including ST131 ( = 2), ST38 ( = 2), ST410 ( = 2), ST405 ( = 2), ST617 ( = 2), and ST1193 ( = 2). The ...
Intra- and inter-laboratory comparison of mDixon and FastFung broths for Malassezia antifungal susceptibility testing.
agreement (EA) between the two assays, and the intra- and inter-laboratory agreement of each assay were assessed. RESULTS: The MIC data obtained in our study were comparable to those reported in the ...
Analyses of Clinical and Biological Data for French and Belgian Immunocompetent Patients Infected With Hepatitis E Virus Genotypes 4 and 3.
investigated this aspect by analyzing the clinical and biological data for 27 French and Belgian immunocompetent patients infected with HEV genotype 4. Their infections were probably acquired locally, since none ...
In-vivo expressed Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens recognised in three mouse strains after infection and BCG vaccination.
in three different mouse strains. Eleven Mtb-antigens were recognised across TB-resistant and susceptible mice. Confirming previous human data, several Mtb-antigens induced cytokines other than IFN-γ. ...
Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 in people with cystic fibrosis in Europe between February and June 2020.
people with CF (pwCF). METHODS: We used the 38-country European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry (ECFSPR) to collect case data about pwCF and SARS-CoV-2 infection. RESULTS: Up to 30 June 2020, 16 ...
Phylogenomic Investigation of Increasing Fluoroquinolone Resistance among Belgian Cases of Shigellosis between 2013 and 2018 Indicates Both Travel-Related Imports and Domestic Circulation.
with data from international reference collections to place the Belgian isolates within their global context. For, substantial diversity was observed with ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates assigned to ...
Healthcare-associated infections in home healthcare: an extensive assessment, 2019.
challenges, including healthcare-associated infections (HAI). Currently, in Belgium, data and guidelines on the topic are lacking.AimTo develop a definition of HAI in HHC and investigate associated risk factors ...
Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay.
severe Covid-19 cases developed a clear IgM and IgA response, titers fell below the detection threshold in more than 20 % of mild cases in our bead-based assay. In conclusion, our data supports the use of ...
