J Hosp Infect . 2022 Dec; 132:8-19. PMID: 36481685
Background: A novel Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clonal complex (CC)5-MRSA-IVc ('Sri Lankan' clone) was recently described from Sri Lanka. Similar isolates caused a recent Irish hospital outbreak....

Aamot H, Eskonsipo P, Jorgensen S, Blomfeldt A
Clin Microbiol Infect . 2017 Oct; 24(7):744-748. PMID: 29074158
Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus colonization leading to skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTI) are known challenges in crowded settings such as the military. The aim of the study was to establish and...

Blomfeldt A, Larssen K, Moghen A, Gabrielsen C, Elstrom P, Aamot H, et al.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis . 2017 May; 36(10):1911-1921. PMID: 28555401
A multidrug-resistant, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone, PVL-positive ST772-MRSA-V, named the Bengal Bay clone, is emerging worldwide. In Norway, where MRSA prevalence is low, a sudden increase in ST772-MRSA-V initiated...

Blomfeldt A, Aamot H, Eskesen A, Monecke S, White R, Leegaard T, et al.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis . 2016 May; 35(8):1285-95. PMID: 27177754
Providing evidence for microbial genetic determinants' impact on outcome in Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (SABSI) is challenging due to the complex and dynamic microbe-host interaction. Our recent population-based prospective study...

Blomfeldt A, Eskesen A, Aamot H, Leegaard T, Bjornholt J
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis . 2016 Feb; 35(5):803-13. PMID: 26873380
Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (SABSI) are associated with a high burden of morbidity and mortality. The impact of specific S. aureus genotypes on outcome is unclear. The aim of this...
