Horizontal plasmid transfer among klebsiella pneumoniae isolates is the key factor for dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamases among children in Tanzania
Pedersen, Torunn Annie; Tellevik, Marit Gjerde; Kommedal, Øyvind; Lindemann, Paul Christoffer; Moyo, Sabrina John; Janice, Jessin; Blomberg, Bjørn; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Langeland, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)Increased knowledge about the role of horizontal gene transfer is key to improve our understanding of the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human populations. We therefore studied the dissemination of the <i>bla</i><sub>CTX-M-15</sub> extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) gene in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolates obtained from stool samples from hospitalized children and healthy controls ... -

The COPD assessment test (CAT-score), spirometry, diffusion capacity of the lungs (DL<sub>CO</sub>), and chest-CT were performed at 23 Norwegian hospitals included in the NOR-SOLIDARITY trial, an open-labelled, ... -
Use of probiotics to reduce infections and death and prevent colonization with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria among newborn infants in Tanzania (ProRIDE Trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial
Kuwelker, Kanika; Langeland, Nina; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Gidion, Joshua; Manyahi, Joel; Moyo, Sabrina John; Blomberg, Bjørn; Klingenberg, Claus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-29)<i>Background</i> - Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> (ESBL-E) has emerged as an urgent global health threat and is by the World Health Organization ranked as priority 1 among pathogens in need of new treatment. Studies have shown high mortality in Tanzanian children with ESBL-E infections. Gut colonization of ESBL-E, which is a potential risk factor of ESBL-E ...
