Yearly evolution of antimicrobial resistance in Belgian <i>L</i>. <i>monocytogenes</i> isolates (2000–2014).

<p>MIC₅₀ and MIC₉₀ values are indicated in black and grey, respectively. When in the figure range, clinical breakpoints are shown as broken lines, and zones of intermediate resistance as grey blocks.</p

Minimal spanning tree of 7-gene MLST of <i>L</i>. <i>monocytogenes</i> isolates of serovar 1/2a (a) and 4b (b) isolated in 2009–2014.

<p>Each node represents a different 7-gene MLST profile with frequency-dependent size. Node colour represents isolation year. Branch thickness indicates number of different loci in the 7-gene MLST profile of the connected nodes.</p

Annual incidence (/100000 inhabitants) of listeriosis, Materno-Neonatal (MN) listeriosis and non-Materno-Neonatal listeriosis in Belgium between 1985 and 2014.

Statistical analysis.

<p>We investigated the association between the presence of <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium on the eggshell of blue and great tits and the egg volume, clutch size, number of nestlings, number of fledglings and SMI. The results are represented as the estimate ± standard deviation (stdev), degrees of freedom (d.f.), t-value and P-value.</p

Phage and MLVA typing of <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium.

<p>Shown are the phage types and MLVA profiles of the seven <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium isolates targeting 5 loci.</p

IgY antibody assessment in blood of great tits.

<p>Indicated are fledglings having anti-<i>Salmonella</i> antibodies (IgY) in their blood at day 14–15.</p
