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 ...
Estimates of the 2015 global and regional disease burden from four foodborne metals- arsenic, cadmium, lead and methylmercury
Pacific B subregion. All of the metals were found to have high DALY s per case in comparison with other foodborne disease agents, including infectious and parasitic agents. In addition, lead, arsenic, and ...
Burden and Risk Assessment of Foodborne Disease
who allows contamination, and the government agencies that monitor, investigate, and regulate all incur costs from foodborne disease. Accordingly, economists have been very interested in assessing the ...
Global burden of late-stage chronic kidney disease resulting from dietary exposure to cadmium, 2015
Cadmium-related incidence rate, calculated as the change in the prevalence during a one-year period, were used to compute the mortality and DALY in all WHO regions. It is estimated that dietary cadmium would result ...
Detection and discrimination of five E. coli pathotypes using a combinatory SYBR® Green qPCR screening system
genes. uidA controls for E. coli presence and all the other genes are specific targets of E. coli pathotypes. For each gene, two primer pairs have been designed to guarantee a sufficient detection even in ...
World Health Organization estimates of the relative contributions of food to the burden of disease due to selected foodborne hazards: A structured expert elicitation
in the study. Ten panels were global, meaning that the experts should provide estimates for all 14 subregions, whereas the nine panels were subregional, with experts providing estimates for one or more ...
Comorbidities and factors associated with central nervous system infections and death in non-perinatal listeriosis: a clinical case series
hospitalization, among whom six (43 %) had a CNS involvement. Among surviving patients, eleven suffered from neurological sequelae (22 %) at hospital discharge; all had CNS infection. Five of these patients (45 %) ...
Growth of Stressed Strains of Four Non-O157 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Serogroups in Five Enrichment Broths.
enrichment of all tested strains when using all three stress types. Furthermore, BPW ensured the highest STEC count after 7 h of growth. Supplementing the medium with sodium pyruvate did not improve the growth ...
Comparison of Six Chromogenic Agar Media for the Isolation of a Broad Variety of Non-O157 Shigatoxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) Serogroups.
strains were used, including 39 STEC strains belonging to 16 different O serogroups and 6 non- STEC E. coli. All E. coli strains were able to grow on TBX and RB, whereas one STEC strain was unable to grow ...
