Metagenomics-based tracing of genetically modified microorganism contaminations in commercial fermentation products
occur frequently. Insight into the contamination source of a GMM is of crucial importance to allow the competent authorities to take appropriate action. The aim of this study was to explore the ...
Particle size analysis of iron hydroxide adipate tartrate (IHAT) in a food supplement: Interlaboratory testing of a dynamic light scattering method
laboratories of EU Member States are required to conduct compliance testing of novel foods, including IHAT, against approved specifications. In the case of IHAT, the authorised specifications include the ...
Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
applied in the food chain, is particularly promising as illustrated in case studies examining iron (hydr)oxides applied as food additive, and copper oxides applied as plant protection product and feed ...
Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
bacterium that occurs as a contaminant in food and feed, occasionally resulting in food poisoning through the production of various toxins. In this study, we retrospectively characterized viable B. cereus ...
The future burden of type 2 diabetes in Belgium: a microsimulation model.
disparities in Belgium until 2030. METHODS: This study utilized a discrete-event transition microsimulation model. A synthetic population was created using 2018 national register data of the Belgian population ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...
Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
data gaps and uncertainties to accommodate. Thisreview identifies existing brucellosis burden of disease studies and analyzes their methodological choices, assumptions, and uncertainties. It supports the ...
