Fifty shades of Green 🤢. It seems like Halloween 🎃 👻 is around the corner at the @pathosense lab! Any thoughts which green monster is getting tamed here? 👹👽💀 #labfun #halloween #greenmonster @theuns_bas #sequencing #phdlife #october #nucleicacids

In conclusion: 🐮 @nanopore sequencing as rapid new tool to determine acquired AMR & support evaluation of ECOFF values 🐮 current approach allows shortening of the present sample-to-result workflow (IDx & AST) 🐮 future goal = immediate IDx & AST without pre-enrichment 6/6 🧵

🟩🟦🟩 Genotypes allowed for re-evaluation of various ECOFF methods 📈 🧐 Existence of single gene mutants (ENRO; n=3) within the Wild-Type population, are overlooked during phenotypic testing. However, the genotype 🧬 provides a higher resolution. #Antibiotics #wiltype 5/6

No quick Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests are available for M. bovis, so quick & accurate sequencing-based approaches are important to - provide appropriate & rapid antimicrobial treatment in the framework of AMR - prevent disease from spreading and/or becoming chronic 4/6

A k-mer-based GWAS analysis allowed to link M. bovis genotypes 🧬 with phenotypes 🧫 based on different ECOFF thresholds. This highlighted potential genetic markers for: 1- macrolides (GAM, TYLT & TIL) 2- fluoroquinolone (ENRO) 3- tetracyclines (OXY & DOXY) 3/6

New weekend, new #seaofgreen on our MinION. 18h into sequencing and a 10.5 Gbp output so far (still 30h ahead and 83% of @nanopore pores still sequencing). 👉 RT Bacterial IDx ✅ 🐷 RT Bacterial (Virulence) Typing ✅ ⭕️ RT Bacterial AMR profiling ✅ 🧬 Complete HQC genomes ✅

Ready for this #nanoporeconf 🧬 today & tomorrow! I am very excited to hear about new @nanopore stuff that will be released, but also new applications & research from experts in the field! Oh, and don't forget to check my Mini Theatre talk 👇 on Mycoplasma bovis 🐄 @pathosense

Finally out! rdcu.be/cj87M See how we have used long-read metagenomics with Nanopore sequencing to profile a canine fecal microbiome sample and retrieve eight single-contig HQ MAGs 🐕💩🦠🧬 @prd_science @Quinovines @NormaFabregas @olga_francino

Well hello there 💙💚 Let’s finish this Friday with this bacterial 🧬 sequencing run using the @nanopore Rapid Barcoding Kit! Never thought we would reach these N50 values (> 27kbp) & this caption is only after 30 min sequencing! 🤪🥳 @theuns_bas #AMR #Diagnostics – at Wetteren, België

Check out this talk preview from @methenickname. At #nanoporeconf, he'll demonstrate how nanopore sequencing was used to identify resistance markers & speed up antimicrobial susceptibility analysis in veterinary samples 🐄. Register to hear in full: bit.ly/3eHlNc6

Mycoplasma bovis causes severe respiratory issues & poses a mortality risk to cattle. At #nanoporeconf, @methenickname will demonstrate how nanopore sequencing was used to identify resistance markers & speed up antimicrobial susceptibility analysis. bit.ly/32EQER9

Delighted to share our #swinedysentery work during the @ECCMID meeting, July 2021 🇦🇹. Together with @pathosense & DGZVlaanderen we sequenced 100 Brachyspira hyodysenteriae genomes 🧬 using @nanopore to unravel #AMR genotypes Vs. phenotypes. #ECCMID2021 @theuns_bas @UGent_VetMed

🦠Fresh bacterial release in @Micro_MDPI Together with @theuns_bas, @pathosense & @UGent_VetMed we showed the presence of BSBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in 💩 of Zoo mammals with @nanopore sequencing. A potential zoonotic & public health threat? 1/4 bit.ly/3dh8kbD

#OutbreakAlert 🐎 February-March: Europe's biggest EHV-1 outbreak was reported in Spain (17 dead & >80 infected 🐎). The #Nauwynck lab isolated EHV-1 from 🇧🇪 suspected 🐎 & by the end of the week @pathosense made complete (150kbp) genomes available with @nanopore sequencing 1/6

A quick analysis for Belgium to show how we are doing, and what should be improved. This is all based on public data available on GISAID In panel A you see 98% of the genomes were done by either REGA (@MaesPiet ), Liège (@keithdurkin) and Ghent (@theuns_bas).
If EU countries are gonna be competing more with the UK, how about we start with all of us trying to do as well as the UK in this graph?
