    • Age- and Gender-Associated Staphylococcus aureus spa Types Found among Nasal Carriers in a General Population: the Tromsø Staph and Skin Study. 

      Sangvik, Maria; Olsen, Renate Slind; Olsen, Karina; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Sollid, johanna u ericson (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriers risk autoinfection; however, knowledge about the factors that make specific strains successful colonizers is limited. This study was undertaken to identify the most successful S. aureus clones in nasal carriers and compare their distribution among host groups. The population structure of S. aureus isolates from healthy adults was investigated by spa typing 1,981 ...

    • Ixodes ricinus and Borrelia prevalence at the Arctic Circle in Norway 

      Hvidsten, Dag; Stuen, Snorre; Jenkins, Andrew; Dienus, Olaf; Olsen, Renate Slind; Kristiansen, Bjørn-Erik; Mehl, Reidar Arne; Matussek, Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-18)
      The distribution limit of Ixodes ricinus ticks in northwestern Europe (Brønnøy, Norway, 1◦ south of the Arctic Circle), has been known since the 1930s. To reconfirm this finding and extend studies in the areas adjacent to the Arctic Circle (66◦33 N), ticks were collected from dogs and cats in 8 districts in northern Norway from 64◦56 N to 68◦48 N. We detected 549 I. ricinus, 244 (44%) of them ...

      <p><b>Background:</b> Colonization of the body is an important step in Staphylococcus aureus infection. S. aureus colonizes skin and mucous membranes in humans and several animal species. One important ecological niche of S. aureus is the anterior nares. More than 60% of the S. aureus in the nose are found in vestibulum nasi. Our aim was to describe the localization of S. aureus in nasal tissue ...
