    • Norwegian e-Infrastructure for Life Sciences (NeLS) 

      Tekle, Kidane M; Gundersen, Sveinung; Klepper, Kjetil; Bongo, Lars Ailo; Raknes, Inge Alexander; Li, Xiaxi; Zhang, Wei; Andreetta, Christian; Mulugeta, Teshome Dagne; Kalaš, Matúš; Rye, Morten Beck; Hjerde, Erik; Antony Samy, Jeevan Karloss; Fornous, Ghislain; Azab, Abdulrahman; Våge, Dag Inge; Hovig, Eivind; Willassen, Nils Peder; Drabløs, Finn; Nygård, Ståle; Petersen, Kjell; Jonassen, Inge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-29)
      The Norwegian e-Infrastructure for Life Sciences (NeLS) has been developed by ELIXIR Norway to provide its users with a system enabling data storage, sharing, and analysis in a project-oriented fashion. The system is available through easy-to-use web interfaces, including the Galaxy workbench for data analysis and workflow execution. Users confident with a command-line interface and programming may ...

    • Pan genome and CRISPR analyses of the bacterial fish pathogen Moritella viscosa 

      Karlsen, Christian; Hjerde, Erik; Klemetsen, Terje; Willassen, Nils Peder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-20)
      Background: Winter-ulcer Moritella viscosa infections continue to be a significant burden in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming. M. viscosa comprises two main clusters that differ in genetic variation and phenotypes including virulence. Horizontal gene transfer through acquisition and loss of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) is a major driving force of bacterial diversification. To gain insight ...

    • Prevalence, diversity and transferability of the Tn916-Tn1545 family ICE in oral streptococci 

      lunde, tracy; Hjerde, Erik; Al-Haroni, Mohammed (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-15)
      <i>Background</i>: The Tn<i>916</i>-Tn<i>1545</i> family of Integrative Conjugative Elements (ICE) are mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that play a role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. The Tn<i>916</i> harbors the tetracycline resistance gene <i>tet</i>(M) and it has been reported in various bacterial species. The increase in the levels of tetracycline resistance among oral streptococci ...

    • Quorum Sensing Controls the CRISPR and Type VI Secretion Systems in Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139 

      Maharajan, Amudha Deepalakshmi; Hjerde, Erik; Hansen, Hilde; Willassen, Nils P (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-22)
      For bacteria to thrive in an environment with competitors, phages and environmental cues, they use different strategies, including Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SSs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) to compete for space. Bacteria often use quorum sensing (QS), to coordinate their behavior as the cell density increases. Like other aliivibrios, Aliivibrio wodanis ...

    • Shotgun-metagenomics based prediction of antibiotic resistance and virulence determinants in Staphylococcus aureus from periprosthetic tissue on blood culture bottles 

      Sanabria-Moreno, Adriana Maria; James Peter, Jessin Janice; Hjerde, Erik; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Hanssen, Anne Merethe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-21)
      Shotgun-metagenomics may give valuable clinical information beyond the detection of potential pathogen(s). Identification of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence genes and typing directly from clinical samples has been limited due to challenges arising from incomplete genome coverage. We assessed the performance of shotgun-metagenomics on positive blood culture bottles (n = 19) with periprosthetic ...

    • Shotgun-Metagenomics on Positive Blood Culture Bottles Inoculated With Prosthetic Joint Tissue: A Proof of Concept Study 

      Sanabria-Moreno, Adriana Maria; Hjerde, Erik; Johannessen, Mona; Sollid, Johanna U Ericson; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Hanssen, Anne Merethe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-17)
      Clinical metagenomics is actively moving from research to clinical laboratories. It has the potential to change the microbial diagnosis of infectious diseases, especially when detection and identification of pathogens can be challenging, such as in prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The application of metagenomic sequencing to periprosthetic joint tissue (PJT) specimens is often challenged by low ...

    • Unique core genomes of the bacterial family vibrionaceae: insights into niche adaptation and speciation 

      Kahlke, Tim; Goesmann, Alexander; Hjerde, Erik; Willassen, Nils Peder; Haugen, Peik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The criteria for defining bacterial species and even the concept of bacterial species itself are under debate, and the discussion is apparently intensifying as more genome sequence data is becoming available. However, it is still unclear how the new advances in genomics should be used most efficiently to address this question. In this study we identify genes that are common to any group of genomes ...

    • Whole-genome sequencing reveals clonal expansion of multiresistant Staphylococcus heamolyticus in European hopsitals 

      Cavanagh, Jorunn Pauline; Hjerde, Erik; Holden, Matthew T.G.; Kahlke, Tim; Klingenberg, Claus; Flægstad, Trond; Parkhill, J; Bentley, Stephen D; Sollid, Johanna U Ericson (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
