    • Antibiotikaresistens – kunnskapshull, utfordringer og aktuelle tiltak 

      Steinbakk, Martin; Sunde, Marianne; Urdahl, Anne Margrete; Barkbu, Kjersti Nilsen; Sørum, Henning; Lunestad, Bjørn-Tore; Bonhorst, Janne Øvrebo; Nielsen, Kaare Magne; Lindbæk, Morten; Bjørnholt, Jørgen V. (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2014)
      Effektive antibiotika er en forutsetning for moderne medisinsk behandling; det gjelder i alle situasjoner der infeksjoner kan gi alvorlige utfall, som ved kreftsykdommer, innen nyfødtmedisin, ved transplantasjonskirurgi og ved en del vanlige kirurgiske inngrep hvor antibiotika benyttes forebyggende for å forhindre infeksjoner. Uten effektive antibiotika som forebyggende behandling vil risiko ved en ...
    • Exploring Klebsiella pneumoniae in Healthy Poultry Reveals High Genetic Diversity, Good Biofilm-Forming Abilities and Higher Prevalence in Turkeys Than Broilers 

      Franklin-Alming, Fiona; Kaspersen, Håkon; Hetland, Marit A. K.; Bakksjø, Ragna-Johanne; Nesse, Live L.; Leangapichart, Thongpan; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Telke, Amar; Sunde, Marianne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-07)
      Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well-studied human pathogen for which antimicrobial resistant and hypervirulent clones have emerged globally. K. pneumoniae is also present in a variety of environmental niches, but currently there is a lack of knowledge on the occurrence and characteristics of K. pneumoniae from non-human sources. Certain environmental niches, e.g., animals, may be associated with high ...
    • Infectious keratoconjunctivitis in semi-domesticated Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus): Microbiological study of clinically affected and unaffected animals with special reference to cervid herpesvirus 2 

      Sanchez Romano, Javier; Mørk, Torill; Laaksonen, Sauli; Ågren, Erik; Nymo, Ingebjørg Helena; Sunde, Marianne; Tryland, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-16)
      Background<br> Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) is one of the most common ocular diseases in ruminants worldwide. In addition to keratitis and conjunctivitis, animals with IKC can develop uveitis, corneal ulcer, and in severe cases, blindness. The bacteria Moraxella spp. has been described as the primary causative agent of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in cattle (Bos taurus), ...
    • 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 ...
    • Plasmid-associated antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in Escherichia coli in a high arctic reindeer subspecies 

      Sunde, Marianne; Ramstad, Silje N.; Rudi, Knut; Porcellato, Davide; Ravi, Anuradha; Ludvigsen, Jane; das Neves, Carlos Gonçalo; Tryland, Morten; Ropstad, Erik; Slettemeås, Jannice S.; Telke, Amar A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-30)
      Objectives - In extreme environments, such as the Arctic region, the anthropogenic influence is low and the presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is unexpected. In this study, we screened wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) from the Svalbard High Arctic Archipelago for antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli and performed in-depth strain characterisation.<p> <p>Methods - Using ...
