Co-localization of clinically relevant antibiotic- and heavy metal resistance genes on plasmids in Klebsiella pneumoniae from marine bivalves
Håkonsholm, Fredrik; Hetland, Marit; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Lunestad, Bjørn Tore; Marathe, Nachiket Prakash (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen frequently associated with antibiotic resistance and present in a wide range of environments, including marine habitats. However, little is known about the development, ... -
Gastrointestinal carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a general adult population: a cross-sectional study of risk factors and bacterial genomic diversity
Raffelsberger, Niclas Peter; Hetland, Marit Andrea Klokkhammer; Svendsen, Kristian; Småbrekke, Lars; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Andreassen, Lotte; Brisse, Sylvain; Holt, Kathryn E.; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Gravningen, Kirsten Midttun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Antibiotic resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading public health threat and gastrointestinal carriage is an established risk factor for subsequent infections during hospitalization. Our study contributes new knowledge ... -
Highly conserved composite transposon harbouring aerobactin iuc3 in Klebsiella pneumoniae from pigs
Kaspersen, Håkon; Franklin-Alming, Fiona; Hetland, Marit; Bernhoff, Eva; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Jiwakanon, Jatesada; Urdahl, Anne Margrete; Leangapichart, Thongpan; Sunde, Marianne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important opportunistic pathogen associated with severe invasive disease in humans. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae, which are K. pneumoniae with several acquired virulence determinants such as the ... -
Insights into the genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and pathogenic potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the Norwegian marine environment using whole-genome analysis
Håkonsholm, Fredrik; Hetland, Marit Andrea Klokkhammer; Svanevik, Cecilie Smith; Lunestad, Bjørn Tore; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Marathe, Nachiket Prakash (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) can cause hospital- and community acquired infections. Although, Kp is widespread in the environment, very little is known about the genetic diversity and pathogenicity of Kp from the marine ... -
Population dynamics and characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae from healthy poultry in Norway
Kaspersen, Håkon; Urdahl, Anne Margrete; Franklin-Alming, Fiona Valerie; Ilag, Hanna Karin; Hetland, Marit; Bernhoff, Eva; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Sunde, Marianne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-18)Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important opportunistic pathogen widely studied in relation to human infection and colonization. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding other niches that K. pneumoniae may inhabit. K. ... -
Rapid high-resolution detection of colistin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria using flow cytometry: a comparison with broth microdilution, a commercial screening test and WGS
Ekelund, Oskar; Hetland, Marit Andrea Klokkhammer; Löhr, Iren Høyland; Schön, Thomas; Somajo, Sofia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Even though both EUCAST and CLSI consider broth microdilution (BMD) as the reference method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of colistin, the method exhibits potential flaws related to properties ... -
Within-patient and global evolutionary dynamics of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST17
Hetland, Marit; Hawkey, Jane; Bernhoff, Eva; Bakksjø, Ragna-Johanne; Kaspersen, Håkon; Rettedal, Siren; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Holt, Kathryn E.; Löhr, Iren Høyland (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type (ST) 17 is a global problem clone that causes multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital infections worldwide. In 2008–2009, an outbreak of MDR ST17 occurred at a neonatal intensive care unit ...
