    • 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 ...

    • Bacterial interference with canonical NF kappa B signalling 

      Johannessen, Mona; Askarian, Fatemeh; Sangvik, Maria; Sollid, Johanna U. Ericson (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-10)

    • Obesity and Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization among Women and Men in a General Population 

      Olsen, Karina; Danielsen, Kjersti; Wilsgaard, Tom; Sangvik, Maria; Sollid, Johanna U. Ericson; Thune, Inger; Eggen, Anne Elise; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Background: Obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) have been linked to increased risk of infections, and Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization is a major risk factor for developing infections with the microbe. We therefore sought to find whether body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) could be associated with S. aureus colonization independent of DM. Methodology: S. aureus colonization ...

    • Prevalence and population structure of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in healthcare workers in a general population. The Tromsø Staph and Skin Study 

      Olsen, Karina; Sangvik, Maria; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Sollid, Johanna U Ericson; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Thune, Inger; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Healthcare workers (HCWs) may be a reservoir for Staphylococcus aureus transmission to patients. We examined whether HCW status is associated with S. aureus nasal carriage and population structure (spa types) in 1302 women (334 HCWs) and 977 men (71 HCWs) aged 30–69 years participating in the population-based Tromsø Study in 2007–2008. Multivariable logistic regression models were used. While no ...

    • Staphylococcus aureus colonisation and host-microbe interactions 

      Sangvik, Maria (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-01-18)
      Why are some people carriers of Staphylococcus aureus while others are not? Is the pathogenesis of S. aureus just a mishap, or is it a well-regulated performance showing us the versatility of this commensal bacterium? Even after all these years of research, we don’t know for sure, and new insights are needed to completely answer these and other questions regarding S. aureus colonisation and infection. ...

    • A staphylococcus aureus TIR domain protein virulence factor blocks TLR2-mediated NF-κB signaling
