Genetic diversity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 : H7 recovered from human and food sources.
(stx2a and stx2c) and antiterminator Q genes (Q933 and Q21). The intermediate lineage (LI / II) dominated among both food and human strains. Compared to other clades, clades 7 and 8 were more frequent ...
Co-occurrence of free-living protozoa and foodborne pathogens on dishcloths: implications for food safety.
FLP were found on 89% of the examined dishcloths; 100% of these tested positive for amoebae, 71% for flagellates and 47% for ciliates. Diversity was dominated by amoebae: vahlkampfiids, vannellids, ...
Quantifying burden of disease to support public health policy in Belgium: opportunities and constraints
Non-communicable diseases and injuries dominate the overall disease burden, while dietary risks, tobacco smoking, and high body-mass index are the major risk factors for ill health. Notwithstanding these efforts, if ...
Determination of steviol glycosides Rebaudioside A in soft drinks by RP-amide liquid chromatography
Abstract: The additive steviol glycosides (E960) is a plant (Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni) extract that contains at least 95% of seven steviol glycosides but there are four dominant components: stevioside, ...
Dietary exposure of the Belgian adult population to non-dioxin-like PCBs.
A dietary exposure assessment was performed, combining ndl- PCB s levels found in food with data from the national food consumption survey of 2004. Fish and fish products were the dominating food group in ...
Childhood Leukaemia incidence around the Belgian nuclear sites: Surrogate exposure modelling.
nuclear installations have been a major area of concern for several decadesalready. The main focus is on childhood leukaemia. The dominant approach is an ecological study using residential proximity to the ...
MLVA as a tool for public health surveillance of human Salmonella Typhimurium: prospective study in Belgium and evaluation of MLVA loci stability.
surveillance. Phage types DT193, DT195, DT120, DT104, DT12 and U302 dominate the Belgian S. Typhimurium population. A combined resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, sulphonamides and tetracycline (ASS uT) with ...
A review of known and hypothetical transmission routes for noroviruses
transmission is without a doubt the dominant transmission route, human infective NoV outbreaks are often initiated by contaminated food or water. Zoonotic transmission of NoV has been investigated, but has thus ...
Polyphasic characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis isolates on persistently contaminated layer farms during the implementation of a national control program with obligatory vaccination: a longitudinal study34033
(PT). On each farm, one or 2 dominant MLVA- PT types were found during successive laying cycles. The dominant MLVA type was different for each of the individual farms, but some farms shared the same ...
Assessment of human exposure to 3rd generation cephalosporin resistant E. coli (CREC) through consumption of broiler meat in Belgium232
number of E. coli) at primary production and the overall contamination of broiler carcasses or broiler parts with E. coli are dominant factors in the consumer exposure to CREC. The risk of this exposure ...
