      In total, 12 quinolone-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> (QREC) strains containing <i>qnrS1</i> were submitted to long-read sequencing using a FLO-MIN106 flow cell on a MinION device. The long reads were assembled with short reads (Illumina) and analyzed using the MOB-suite pipeline. Six of these QREC genome sequences were closed after hybrid assembly.
    • Evaluation of the One Health-Ness of 20 Years of Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance in Norway 

      Norström, Madelaine; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Slettemeås, Jannice Schau; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Urdahl, Anne Margrete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-21)
      We evaluated the One Health-ness (OH-ness) of the surveillance system for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Norway by using the recently developed “Evaluation tool for One Health epidemiological surveillance capacities and capabilities” (OH–EpiCap tool). First, we defined the Norwegian AMR surveillance system that we would evaluate. The tool was applied by a group of stakeholders (key persons in the ...
    • Integron, plasmid and host strain characteristics of Escherichia coli from humans and food included in the Norwegian antimicrobial resistance monitoring programs 

      Sunde, Marianne; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Slettemeås, Jannice Schau; Bøckerman, Inger; Norström, Madelaine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-05)
      Antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli (n=331) isolates from humans with bloodstream infections were investigated for the presence of class 1 and class 2 integrons. The integron cassettes arrays were characterized and the findings were compared with data from similar investigations on resistant E. coli from meat and meat products (n=241) produced during the same time period. All isolates were ...
