    • Bruk av hormonelle prevensjonsmidler og Staphylococcus aureus nesebærerskap. Tromsøundersøkelsen: Fit Futures 2 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-31)
      Nesebærerskap av Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) er et samspill av bakterie- og vertsfaktorer. Det har vært publisert artikler som viser sammenheng mellom bruk av hormonell prevensjon og nesebærerskap hos voksne kvinner. Formålet med denne oppgaven er å undersøke om denne sammenhengen kan gjenfinnes hos en norsk ungdomspopulasjon, og å undersøke om det er en sammenheng mellom preparatenes hormoninnhold ...

    • Circulating sex-steroids and Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in a general female population 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg; Småbrekke, Lars; Olsen, Karina; Grimnes, Guri; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Sollid, Johanna U Ericson; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Almås, Bjørg; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02)
      <p>Objective: <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> is a major human pathogen, and nasal carriers have an increased risk for infection and disease. The exploration of host determinants for nasal carriage is relevant to decrease infection burden. Former studies demonstrate lower carriage prevalence in women and among users of progestin-only contraceptives. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible ...

    • Circulating sex-steroids and Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in a general male population 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg; Småbrekke, Lars; Olsen, Karina; Grimnes, Guri; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Ericson, Johanna U; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Almås, Bjørg; Furberg, Anne Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-22)
      Male sex is associated with higher risk of both colonisation and infection with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). However, the role of sex-steroids in colonisation among men is largely unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate possible associations between circulating sex-steroids and nasal carriage of S. aureus in a general male population. The population-based Tromsø6 study (2007–2008) ...

    • Hormonal contraceptive use and Staphylococcus aureus nasal and throat carriage in a Norwegian youth population 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg; Småbrekke, Lars; Olsen, Karina; Grimnes, Guri; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Sollid, Johanna U. E.; Furgberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-05)
      <i>Background</i>: Use of hormonal contraceptives has been associated with <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> nasal carriage in adult women. However, the role of hormonal contraceptives in S. aureus colonization among adolescents and associations with progestin only contraceptives are unknown.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: We obtained nasal and throat swab samples from 439 girls aged 17–21 years in the ...

    • Sex-steroids and social network in relation to Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-04-01)
      <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>S. aureus</i>) is a human pathogen that can colonize skin and mucosa. Nasal carriage is associated with increased risk of autoinfection and transmission and it is therefore important to identify possible targets for prevention of carriage. Sex and age are the most important risk factors for <i>S. aureus</i> carriage, and hypotheses about sex-steroids as major host ...

    • Social network analysis of Staphylococcus aureus carriage in a general youth population 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg; Cañadas, Rafael A. Nozal; Småbrekke, Lars; Olsen, Karina; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Svendsen, Kristian; Hanssen, Anne Merethe; Ericson, Johanna U; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Bongo, Lars Ailo; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-31)
      Objectives Staphylococcus aureus carriage increases infection risk. We used social network analysis to evaluate whether contacts have the same S. aureus genotype indicating direct transmission, or whether contagiousness is an indirect effect of contacts sharing the same lifestyle or characteristics. Methods The Fit Futures 1 study collected data on social contact among 1038 high school students. ...
