Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.
view of AMR gene localization, i.e., chromosomal or on a plasmid. Whole-genome and plasmid DNA extraction methods were compared, as were assemblies consisting of short reads (Illumina MiSeq), long reads ...
Infection due to travel-related carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, a largely underestimated phenomenon in Belgium.
detection is crucial in order to prevent infections and the development of reservoirs/outbreaks in hospitals. In 2008, most of the CPE strains reported in Belgium were imported from patients repatriated from ...
Development and assessment of national performance indicators for infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship in European long-term care facilities.
increasing importance. AIM: To develop consensus national performance indicators (NPI s) for infection control (ICPI) and antimicrobial stewardship (ASPI) in LTCF s, and assess the performance of 32 European countries ...
The importance of sample size in the determination of a flock-level antimicrobial resistance profile for Escherichia coli in broilers.
profiles is important to guide therapeutic use of antimicrobials and to assess risk factors for the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. As such, it is of utmost importance to optimize the ...
Parenteral versus oral administration of systemic antimicrobials in European nursing homes: a point-prevalence survey.
Information on the use of parenteral antimicrobials and associated factors in long-term care facilities is necessary to assess the risks and benefits of this treatment and to support the development of ...
Tetracycline-resistance in lactose-positive enteric coliforms originating from Belgian fattening pigs: degree of resistance, multiple resistance and risk factors.
conditions on the development and persistence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Data on housing, management and antimicrobial-drug consumption were collected, as well as faecal samples at three production ...
