Development of a real-time PCR method for the genoserotyping of Salmonella Paratyphi B variant Java.
in-house, was developed in this study, to be applied to Salmonella isolates. This method was validated with the analysis of 178 S. Paratyphi B (D-tartrate fermenting and non-fermenting) and other serotypes ...
Prevalence of healthcare-associated infections, estimated incidence and composite antimicrobial resistance index in acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities: results from two European point prevalence surveys, 2016 to 2017
and 117,138 residents from 2,221 long-term care facilities (LTCF) in 23 countries. After national validation, we estimated that 6.5% (cumulative 95% confidence interval (cCI): 5.4–7.8%) patients in ACH ...
Combining primary care surveillance and a meta-analysis to estimate the incidence of the clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in Belgium, 2015–2017
As both over- and underestimation of different clinical LB manifestations remain possible due to characteristics of the primary surveillance systems and the disease itself, future studies to validate ...
