Phosphorus recovery as struvite from digested sludge - experience from the full scale
Saerens B, Geerts S, Weemaes M
J Environ Manage . 2020 Dec; 280:111743. PMID: 33288315
There is an ongoing paradigm shift; wastewater is often not considered a waste any more, but a source of valuable resources: nutrients (N: nitrogen, P: phosphorus, and K: potassium), energy...

High-rate activated sludge systems combined with dissolved air flotation enable effective organics removal and recovery
Cagnetta C, Saerens B, Meerburg F, Decru S, Broeders E, Menkveld W, et al.
Bioresour Technol . 2019 Jul; 291:121833. PMID: 31357043
High-rate activated sludge (HRAS) systems typically generate diluted sludge which requires further thickening prior to anaerobic digestion (AD), besides the need to add considerable coagulant and flocculant for the solids...

Fetal and infant health outcomes among immigrant mothers in Flanders, Belgium
Gillet E, Saerens B, Martens G, Cammu H
Int J Gynaecol Obstet . 2013 Nov; 124(2):128-33. PMID: 24257480
Objective: To compare fetal and infant mortality between immigrant and native-born mothers in Flanders, Belgium. Methods: In a population-based study, data from 326 166 neonatal deliveries, collected by the Study...

Elevated soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM)-1 levels in maternal serum during term and preterm labor
Tency I, Verstraelen H, Saerens B, Verhasselt B, Vaneechoutte M, Degomme O, et al.
PLoS One . 2013 Mar; 8(2):e56050. PMID: 23468854
Background: Infection and inflammation are important mechanisms leading to preterm birth. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) belongs to a family of cell surface receptors that seems to...

Optimization of quantitative polymerase chain reactions for detection and quantification of eight periodontal bacterial pathogens
Decat E, Cosyn J, De Bruyn H, Miremadi R, Saerens B, Van Mechelen E, et al.
BMC Res Notes . 2012 Dec; 5:664. PMID: 23199017
Background: The aim of this study was to optimize quantitative (real-time) polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays for 8 major periodontal pathogens, i.e. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Parvimonas micros, Porphyromonas gingivalis,...

Rapid and accurate identification of isolates of Candida species by melting peak and melting curve analysis of the internally transcribed spacer region 2 fragment (ITS2-MCA)
Decat E, Van Mechelen E, Saerens B, Vermeulen S, Boekhout T, De Blaiser S, et al.
Res Microbiol . 2012 Nov; 164(2):110-7. PMID: 23142490
Rapid identification of clinically important yeasts can facilitate the initiation of anti-fungal therapy, since susceptibility is largely species-dependent. We evaluated melting peak and melting curve analysis of the internally transcribed...

Strong correspondence in bacterial loads between the vagina and rectum of pregnant women
El Aila N, Tency I, Saerens B, De Backer E, Cools P, Lopes Dos Santos Santiago G, et al.
Res Microbiol . 2011 Apr; 162(5):506-13. PMID: 21513795
We sampled the vagina and rectum in 71 pregnant women and bacterial loads of Lactobacillus crispatus, L. jensenii, L. gasseri, L. iners, Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae were determined by...

Comparison of different sampling techniques and of different culture methods for detection of group B streptococcus carriage in pregnant women
El Aila N, Tency I, Claeys G, Saerens B, Cools P, Verstraelen H, et al.
BMC Infect Dis . 2010 Oct; 10:285. PMID: 20920213
Background: Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus; GBS) is a significant cause of perinatal and neonatal infections worldwide. To detect GBS colonization in pregnant women, the CDC recommends isolation of the...

The development of a 16S rRNA gene based PCR for the identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae and comparison with four other species specific PCR assays
El Aila N, Emler S, Kaijalainen T, De Baere T, Saerens B, Alkan E, et al.
BMC Infect Dis . 2010 Apr; 10:104. PMID: 20426878
Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most frequently encountered pathogens in humans but its differentiation from closely related but less pathogenic streptococci remains a challenge. Methods: This report describes...

Identification and genotyping of bacteria from paired vaginal and rectal samples from pregnant women indicates similarity between vaginal and rectal microflora
El Aila N, Tency I, Claeys G, Verstraelen H, Saerens B, Lopes Dos Santos Santiago G, et al.
BMC Infect Dis . 2009 Oct; 9:167. PMID: 19828036
Background: The vaginal microflora is important for maintaining vaginal health and preventing infections of the reproductive tract. The rectum has been suggested as the major source for the colonisation of...
