      Objectives - We describe the first tigecycline resistant enterococcal isolate in Norway and the mechanisms involved.<p> <p>Material and methods - The Norwegian National Advisory Unit on Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance (K-res). received in 2022 an Enterococcus faecium blood culture isolate with decreased susceptibility to tigecycline from a hospitalized patient in the South-Eastern Norway ...

    • The first vanE-type vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis isolates in Norway – phenotypic and molecular characteristics 

      al Rubaye, Mushtaq Talib Shawi; Janice, Jessin; Bjørnholt, Jørgen; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn Ståle; Hegstad, Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-27)
      Objectives - We aimed to characterize the vanE cluster and its genetic support in the first Norwegian vanE-type isolates and assess genetic relatedness to other vanE isolates.<p> <p>Methods - Two vanE-type vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis (vanE-VREfs) isolates (E1 and E2) recovered from the same patient 30 months apart were examined for antimicrobial susceptibility, genome sequence, ...

    • Genomic insights into Enterococcus faecium isolates from marine bivalves highlight One Health concerns and healthcare linkages 

      von Barner Tvedegaard Heim, Amalie; Janice, Jessin; Bjørnholt, Jørgen; Lunestad, Bjørn Tore; Hegstad, Kristin; Svanevik, Cecilie Smith (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-12)
      Enterococci, especially Enterococcus faecium, are one of today’s leading causes of multidrug-resistant infections in hospital settings. The marine environment may harbour enterococci, but its role as an evolutionary niche and as a vector for the spread of enterococci is sparsely investigated. Hence, by applying enterococci in bivalves as a sentinel tool, this study aimed to describe the prevalence ...

    • Molecular and epidemiological characterization of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Norway, 2007 to 2014 

      Samuelsen, Ørjan; Overballe-Petersen, Søren; Bjørnholt, Jørgen; Brisse, Sylvain; Doumith, Michel; Woodford, Neil; Hopkins, Katie L.; Aasnæs, Bettina; Haldorsen, Bjørg; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-15)
      The prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is increasing worldwide. Here we present associated patient data and molecular, epidemiological and phenotypic characteristics of all CPE isolates in Norway from 2007 to 2014 confirmed at the Norwegian National Advisory Unit on Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance. All confirmed CPE isolates were characterized pheno- and genotypically, ...

    • Nationwide, population-based observational study of the molecular epidemiology and temporal trend of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Norway, 2015 to 2021 

      Ljungquist, Oskar; Haldorsen, Bjørg; Pöntinen, Anna Kaarina; Janice, Jessin; Josefsen, Ellen Haldis; Elstrøm, Petter; Kacelnik, Oliver; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Handal, Nina; Ranheim, Trond Egil; Hansen, Bent-Are; Mjøen, Andreas Fossum; Lindemann, Paul Christoffer; Nilsen, Einar; Zaragkoulias, Kyriakos; Larsen, Hege Elisabeth; Bjørnholt, Jørgen; Gammelsrud, Karianne Wiger; Jakovljev, Aleksandra; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Bredberg, Anders; Marvik, Åshild; Minge, Christina; Tofteland, Ståle; Papp, Kristina; Onken, Annette; Weme, Einar Tollaksen; Guennigsman, Brian Albert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-06)
      National and regional carbapenemaseproducing Enterobacterales (CPE) surveillance is essential to understand the burden of antimicrobial resistance, elucidate outbreaks, and develop infection-control or antimicrobial-treatment recommendations. Aim: This study aimed to describe CPE and their epidemiology in Norway from 2015 to 2021. Methods: A nationwide, population-based observational study of ...

    • The population structure of vancomycin-resistant and -susceptible Enterococcus faecium in a low-prevalence antimicrobial resistance setting is highly influenced by circulating global hospital-associated clones 

      al Rubaye, Mushtaq Talib Shawi; Janice, Jessin; Bjørnholt, Jørgen; Kacelnik, Oliver; Haldorsen, Bjørg C; Nygaard, Randi Monsen; Hegstad, Joachim; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn Ståle; Hegstad, Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-19)
      Between 2010 and 2015 the incidence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) in Norway increased dramatically. Hence, we selected (1) a random subset of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) from the Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases (2010–15; n=239) and (2) Norwegian vancomycin-susceptible E. faecium (VSEfm) bacteraemia isolates from the national surveillance ...
