      Extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) are excreted via effluents and sewage into the environment where they can re-contaminate humans and animals. The aim of this observational study was to detect and quantify ESBL-EC in recreational water and wastewater, and perform a genetic and phenotypic comparative analysis of the environmental strains with geographically associated ...
    • Fecal carriage of extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae after urinary tract infection - A three year prospective cohort study 

      Jørgensen, Silje; Søraas, Arne Vasli; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Liestøl, Knut; Leegaard, Truls Michael; Jenum, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-07)
      We have performed a prospective cohort study to investigate the duration of and risk factors for prolonged fecal carriage of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with community acquired urinary tract infection caused by these bacteria. From 2009 to 2011, 101 Norwegian patients were recruited. Stool swabs and questionnaires were collected every three months for one ...
    • Undervisning i bioteknologi : laboratoriearbeid 

      Jørgensen, Silje (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-06-01)
      Gjennom de siste ti årene har en rask utvikling av nye bioteknologiske metoder vært fremtredene som et resultat av teknologiens fremvekst. For den moderne lærer, i den videregående skole, medfører dette stadig nye utfordringer innenfor tilrettelegging av faglig oppdatert undervisning. Spesielt krevende er det å kunne tilby laboratorieundervisning som gir god læring, og hvor utstyr og materiell ikke ...
