Impacts of environmental stress on resistance and resilience of algal-associated bacterial communities Universiteit Gent
Algal-associated bacteria are fundamental to the ecological success of marine green macroalgae such as Caulerpa. The resistance and resilience of algal-associated microbiota to environmental stress can promote algal health and genetic adaptation to changing environments. The composition of bacterial communities has been shown to be unique to algal morphological niches. Therefore, the level of response to various environmental perturbations may ...
Persistence of antimicrobial resistance in respiratory streptococci Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Objectives: To assess whether persistence of antimicrobial resistance (i.e. non-susceptible resistance status) after treatment with penicillins or cephalosporins versus macrolides or tetracyclines differs and to compare the results obtained using routinely collected data with findings reported in prospective studies. Methods: Routinely collected microbiological data from 14 voluntary participating laboratories (2005) containing information on ...
New surveillance, new penology and new resistance: towards the criminalisation of resistance? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
After having illustrated the main differences between old and new surveillance, this contribution focuses on resistance to surveillance highlighting how it operates in today's surveillance societies. In particular, it analyses how resistance is developing into new forms and patterns which might turn resistance into criminalisation. This circumstance is examined taking into account the "Facebook case".
Prevalence and persistence of antimicrobial resistance in broiler indicator bacteria Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
This study explored the prevalence and persistence of acquired antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecium from healthy broilers. In 32 broiler farms, cloacal samples were taken during two production rounds, with one production round in between. For 10 of the sampled flocks, samples from the carcasses at the slaughterhouse were also collected. For E. coli, high levels of resistance were found for ampicillin, nalidixic ...

National laboratory-based surveillance system for antimicrobial resistance: a successful tool to support the control of antimicrobial resistance in the Netherlands Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
An important cornerstone in the control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a well-designed quantitative system for the surveillance of spread and temporal trends in AMR. Since 2008, the Dutch national AMR surveillance system, based on routine data from medical microbiological laboratories (MMLs), has developed into a successful tool to support the control of AMR in the Netherlands. It provides background information for policy making in ...
