TL;DR: Viral RNA was detected more frequently, and levels were higher, in patients who were admitted to the ICU and/or died, in SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotyping of 353 Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Isolates Collected between 2004 and 2009 at a Norwegian University Hospital and Potential Associations with Clinical Parameters
TL;DR: Interestingly, spa clonal complex 021 showed a weak association with higher all-cause hospital mortality, and a high level of genetic diversity was detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns and dynamics of airway colonisation in mechanically-ventilated patients.
TL;DR: Microbial findings were highly correlated both between airway locations and over time when samples were taken no more than 72 h apart, and no correlation was observed between a bacterial count of > or =10(4) CFU/mL in BAL fluid and chest X-rays compatible with VAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Bacteremic Patients in a Norwegian University Hospital
TL;DR: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is common in both nosocomial and community settings, and the pathogenicity of the microbe depends upon a large repertoire of virulence factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging multidrug-resistant Bengal Bay clone ST772-MRSA-V in Norway: molecular epidemiology 2004-2014.

TL;DR: A multidrug-resistant, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone, PVL-positive ST772-MRSA-V, named the Bengal Bay clone, is emerging worldwide and revision of infection control guidelines may prevent further spread in Norway.
