Epidemiology and molecular typing of multidrug-resistant bacteria in tertiary hospitals and nursing homes in Flanders, Belgium

to previous studies, and transmission in and between institutions is observed. These results re-emphasize the need for a healthcare network-wide infection prevention strategy in which WGS of MDRO ...

Knowledge, perceptions and practices related to mosquitoes and mosquito-borne viruses: survey in Belgium, 2022

preventive measures upon observing mosquitoes in and around the house (cues to action, 5.3/7.0). Participants had limited confidence in finding information on preventive measures and in recognizing and ...

A genomic appraisal of invasive Salmonella Typhimurium and associated antibiotic resistance in sub-Saharan Africa.

ST313- L2 likely emerged in the Democratic Republic of Congo around 1980 and further spread in the mid 1990s. We observed plasmid-borne as well as chromosomally encoded fluoroquinolone resistance ...

Time series modelling for wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19: A nationwide study in 40 wastewater treatment plants of Belgium, February 2021 to June 2022

variability was observed in terms of explaining incident cases. These findings are of practical importance to WBE practitioners and show that the early-warning potential of WBE is WWTP-specific and ...

Factors underlying COVID-19 booster vaccine uptake among fully vaccinated adults in Belgium

observed in the 75-84 age group (96.73%) and 85+ age group (82.30%) for the first and second booster respectively and the lowest for both boosters in the 18-24 age group (69.86% and 17.85%). Individuals who ...

Factors underlying COVID-19 booster vaccine uptake among fully vaccinated adults in Belgium

booster respectively. The highest coverage (number boosted over number PC completed) was observed in the 75-84 age group (96.73%) and 85+ age group (82.30%) for the first and second booster respectively and ...

Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Humboldt Penguins—Susceptibility Patterns andMolecular Epidemiology of Clinical and Environmental Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates from a Belgian Zoo

environment (n = 8) and from Humboldt penguins (n = 6). The TR34 / L98H mutation was observed in all resistant environmental strains, and in two resistant veterinary strains. To the best of our knowledge, this ...

Inequalities in mortality associated with housing conditions in Belgium between 1991 and 2020

between observed and expected deaths by applying mortality rates of the least deprived decile to other deciles. We also used standard life table calculations to estimate the potential years of life lost due ...

Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among Belgian nursing home residents and staff during the primary COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

seroprevalences observed among infection naïve residents. COVID-19 vaccination status and previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were predictors for SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity. Alternatively, age ≥ 80 years old, the presence ...

Evaluating methodological approaches to assess the severity of infection with SARS-CoV-2 variants: scoping review and applications on Belgian COVID-19 data.

health. However, causally inferring the intrinsic severity of infection with variants using observational data is a challenging process on which guidance is still limited. We describe potential limitations ...
