Microbial quality analysis of falsified medicines seized by controling agencies
set out to see if these products were contaminated with bacteria and fungi and performed enumeration tests. Next, we also conducted a series of microbiological assays on those bacterial strains that ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
characterization had only been achieved in a handful of studies, and had not been proven possible when more than one strain of the same species were present. Moreover, the genome obtained from metagenomics sequences ...
Chemical and toxciological characterization of e-liquid cigarettes
revised TPD. Indeed, in recent years, there have been significantly fewer discrepancies between the effective nicotine content and the claimed concentration. No hazardous volatile organic compounds were ...
Genotoxic evaluation of the liquids present in electronic cigarettes
lower concentrations. Exposure to e-liquid substances has been associated with molecular changes, carcinogenicity and diseases such as heart malfunctions, delayed cellular differentiation and impaired ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
a valuable alternative. In this PhD work, different molecular tools were developed, from simplex to multiplex, to detect and identify indoor airborne fungi. The goal was to improve the detection of fungal ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
been encountered. Baby cups, teats, dinnerware and other infant FCM s were studied as well. However, for the latter items, a major percentage of the polymers used for their production could generally not ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized GMO in the food and feed chain (PhD thesis)
https://www.sciensano.be/fr/biblio/strategies-detect-unauthorized-gmo-food-and-feed-chain-phd-thesis
choice for consumers, genetically modified organisms (GMO) legislations have been established in many countries, including in Europe (EU). However, the implementation of these legislations by the ...
Detection and risk evaluation of counterfeit medicines based on physico-chemical properties: the fingerprint and chemometrics approach
on PDE-5 Inhibitors. Both physical and chemical properties of these samples were taken into consideration to discriminate counterfeit medicines from genuine ones. Chapter V focuses on physical ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
Abstract: To guarantee the traceability on the market and the freedom of choice for consumers, genetically modified organisms (GMO) legislations have been established in many countries, including in Europe ...
Role of wildlife and domestic pigs as reservoirs for hepatitis E virus (HEV): study of the infection in suids and cervids and of the susceptibility of pigs to HEV originating from wild boa
analyses were performed. The data obtained by the WB analysis in wild boars have been used for the conception of a ROC curve analysis with WB as reference test and different scenarios were analysed. ...
