This report presents the results of the fourth round of the external quality assessment (EQA-4) scheme for typing of Listeria monocytogenes organised for laboratories in the Food- and Waterborne Diseases and Zoonoses Network (FWD-Net).
This report describes the geographical and temporal distribution of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis based on molecular typing data (24-locus MIRU–VNTR genotyping) as reported by EU/EEA countries.
The European Union Summary Report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria from humans, animals and food in 2014, covers resistance in zoonotic Salmonella and Campylobacter species from humans, animals and food, and resistance in indicator Escherichia coli as well as meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in animals and food.
This publication aims to provide EU/EEA data providers with a single protocol for performing multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) and thereby ensure interlaboratory comparability of the generated results using capillary electrophoresis (CE).
