      Antibiotic resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is a leading public health threat and gastrointestinal carriage is an established risk factor for subsequent infections during hospitalization. Our study contributes new knowledge of risk factors for gastrointestinal carriage and the genomic population structure of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> colonizing humans in a representative sample of a general population ...
    • The population structure of human carriage and clinical isolates of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Norway 

      Andreassen, Lotte (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-15)
      The increasing emergence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria worldwide is recognised as a severe threat to public health on a global scale. Without effective antimicrobial agents to treat bacterial infections, modern medicine will be set back several decades and deaths caused by bacterial infections will increase. The most widely used class of antimicrobials, is -lactams, and the increase in resistance ...
