Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron VOC subvariants BA.1 and BA.2: Evidence from Danish Households
Frederik Plesner Lyngse,Carsten Kirkeby,Matthew J. Denwood,Lars E. Christiansen,Kåre Mølbak,Camilla Holten Møller,Robert Skov,T. Krause,Morten Rasmussen,Raphael N. Sieber,Thor Bech Johannesen,Troels Lillebaek,Jannik Fonager,Anna S. Fomsgaard,Frederik Trier Møller,Marc Stegger,Maria Overvad,Kelly Spiess,Lhm Mortensen +18 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that Omicron BA.2 is inherently substantially more transmissible than BA.1, and that it also possesses immune-evasive properties that further reduce the protective effect of vaccination against infection, but do not increase its transmissibility from vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
SCCmecFinder, a Web-Based Tool for Typing of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec in Staphylococcus aureus Using Whole-Genome Sequence Data
Hülya Kaya,Hülya Kaya,Henrik Hasman,Jesper Larsen,Marc Stegger,Thor Bech Johannesen,Rosa Lundbye Allesøe,Camilla Koldbæk Lemvigh,Frank Møller Aarestrup,Ole Lund,Anders Rhod Larsen +10 more
TL;DR: The development and evaluation of SCCmecFinder, a new bioinformatic tool that includes most of the needs for infection control professionals and researchers regarding the interpretation of S CCmec elements, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli Sequence Type 410 Is Causing New International High-Risk Clones
Louise Roer,Søren Overballe-Petersen,Frank Hansen,Kristian Schønning,Kristian Schønning,Mikala Wang,Bent Røder,Dennis S. Hansen,Ulrik Stenz Justesen,Leif P. Andersen,David Fulgsang-Damgaard,Katie L. Hopkins,Neil Woodford,Linda Falgenhauer,Trinad Chakraborty,Ørjan Samuelsen,Karin Sjöström,Thor Bech Johannesen,Kim Lee Ng,Jens Nielsen,Steen Ethelberg,Marc Stegger,Anette M. Hammerum,Henrik Hasman +23 more
TL;DR: Evidence is found of E. coli ST410 being a highly resistant globally distributed lineage, capable of patient-to-patient transmission causing hospital outbreaks, and of the ST410 lineage being classified with the potential to cause new high-risk clones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Disease Severity With Skin Microbiome and Filaggrin Gene Mutations in Adult Atopic Dermatitis.
Maja-Lisa Clausen,Tove Agner,Berit Lilje,Sofie Marie Edslev,Thor Bech Johannesen,Paal Skytt Andersen,Paal Skytt Andersen +6 more
TL;DR: An altered microbiome composition in patients with AD in nonlesionalskin, lesional skin, as well as nose, suggests a global influence of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sharmin Baig,Thor Bech Johannesen,Søren Overballe-Petersen,Jesper Larsen,Anders Rhod Larsen,Marc Stegger +5 more
TL;DR: A novel staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) element is identified in an ST152 methicillin-resistant StAPHylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolate by combining Illumina and MinION sequencing.
