Science
Environment & Ecology
De benadering van de *microbiologische betrouwbaarheid* is ook veranderd. Vroeger keken we vooral naar fecale besmetting, naar de aanwezigheid van E-coli. Nu kijken we naar de pathogenen zelf.

I don't really see the need for having this translated into Pig Latin as well, but you never know what people are into these days...

My apologies for being a pest with this, but I have one more reference that needs to be added and I'm not quite sure why I didn't check that first.
Eurodic also contains the term in the Dutch to English pair, so I don't know why I went to check the German English pair before checking this one:
Subject Public Administration - Private Administration - Offices (AD)
Medicine (ME)

: linguistically makes sense-but too few refs on Google to make it feasible and Johan's research is fairly convincing, imho. The NL has zigged where the other languages zagged./did see that.fwiw-if it's a back-translation this answer is perfect! ;-)
