Journal ArticleDOI
INNUENDO: A cross-sectoral platform for the integration of genomics in the surveillance of food-borne pathogens
Ann-Katrin Llarena,Bruno Ribeiro-Gonçalves,Diogo N. Silva,Jani Halkilahti,Miguel P. Machado,Mickael Silva,Anniina Jaakkonen,Joana Isidro,Crista Hämäläinen,Jasmin Joenperä,Vítor Borges,Luis Viera,João Paulo Gomes,Cristina Correia,Janne Lundén,Riikka Laukkanen-Ninios,Maria Fredriksson-Ahomaa,Joseba Bikandi,Rosario San Millán,Ilargi Martinez-Ballesteros,Lorena Laorden,Mihael Mäesaar,Lelde Grantina-Ievina,Friederike Hilbert,Javier Garaizar,Mónica Oleastro,Mari Nevas,Saara Salmenlinna,Marjaana Hakkinen,João A. Carriço,Mirko Rossi +30 more
TL;DR: The project INNUENDO aimed to design an analytical platform and standard procedures for the use of whole-genome sequencing in surveillance and outbreak investigation of food-borne pathogens, and is effectively one of the models for the usage of open-source software in genomic epidemiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Online exercise for the design and simulation of PCR and PCR-RFLP experiments
Rosario San Millán,Ilargi Martinez-Ballesteros,Aitor Rementeria,Javier Garaizar,Joseba Bikandi +4 more
TL;DR: An online PCR and PCR-RFLP exercise has been create that requires users to find the target genes, compare them, design primers, search for restriction endonucleases, and finally to simulate the experiment to acquire a basic understanding of strain comparison and clustering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of staphylococcal species based on variations in protein sequences (mass spectrometry) and DNA sequence (sodA microarray)
Jennifer M. Kooken,Karen F. Fox,Alvin Fox,Diego Altomare,Kim E. Creek,David S. Wunschel,Sara Pajares-Merino,Ilargi Martinez-Ballesteros,Javier Garaizar,Omar A. Oyarzabal,Mansour Samadpour +10 more
TL;DR: This report is among the first using sequence variation in newly discovered protein markers for staphylococcal speciation by comparing experimental spectra versus virtual spectra using the software X!Tandem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between Salmonella infection, shedding and serology in fattening pigs in low-moderate prevalence areas.
B. San Román,Victoria Garrido,S. Sánchez,Ilargi Martinez-Ballesteros,Javier Garaizar,Raúl C. Mainar-Jaime,Lourdes Migura-Garcia,María Jesús Grilló +7 more
TL;DR: Prevalence context, detection of Salmonella in MLN is an unreliable predictor of faecal shedding at abattoir, indicating that subclinical infections in fattening pigs MLN could have limited relevance in the IC shedding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virulotyping of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolates from Pakistan: Absence of complete SPI-10 in Vi negative isolates.
Sadia Liaquat,Sadia Liaquat,Yasra Sarwar,Aamir Ali,Abdul Haque,Muhammad Farooq,Ilargi Martinez-Ballesteros,Lorena Laorden,Javier Garaizar,Joseba Bikandi +9 more
TL;DR: The virulence potential and genetic relatedness of 35 S. Typhi isolates collected from 2004 to 2013 was determined by identification of SPI and non-SPI virulence factors through a combination of techniques including virulotyping, Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), and Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) profiling.
