Plasmid DNA profile and conjugative R-plasmids were detected in Salmonella clinical isolates. The study revealed that drug resistance of Salmonella clinical strains of different serovars was determined by R-plasmids with a mol. wt. of 60-90 kD, carrying a certain spectrum of resistance to antibiotics. 9 types of conjugative plasmids, differing in their mol. wt. and resistance markers, were detected.

Background: Polymicrobial pulmonary infections, common in immunocompromised patients, often manifest more severe symptoms than monomicrobial infections. Clinical diagnosis delays may lead to mortality, emphasizing the importance of fast and accurate diagnosis for these patients. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), as an unbiased method capable of detecting all microbes, is a valuable tool to identify pathogens, particularly in cases where infections are difficult to diagnosis using conventional methods.

The influx of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data in the public health and clinical diagnostic sectors has created a need for data analysis methods and bioinformatics expertise, which can be a bottleneck for many laboratories. At Sciensano, the Belgian national public health institute, an intuitive and user-friendly bioinformatics tool portal was implemented using Galaxy, an open-source platform for data analysis and workflow creation. The Galaxy @Sciensano instance is available to both internal and external scientists and offers a wide range of tools provided by the community, complemented by over 50 custom tools and pipelines developed in-house.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a detection method widely used in pathogen detection and clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, it is highly constrained by thermal stability, catalytic activity, and resistance to inhibitors of Bst DNA polymerase. In this study, a novel DNA polymerase was characterized from Clostridium thermocellum, exhibiting potential in LAMP detection.

Objective: To describe immune responses following administration of experimental Salmonella Dublin siderophore receptor protein (SRP) vaccines in Holstein heifer calves with adequate passive antibody transfer.
Methods: Calves were randomly assigned to receive placebo, vaccination with S Dublin SRP in adjuvant A, or vaccination with S Dublin SRP in adjuvant B at 7 ± 3 days of age and 3 weeks later. Before each vaccination, 4 and 8 days after the second vaccination (postvaccination), and 61 to 91 days postvaccination, S Dublin antibody titers were measured.
