Pinholt M, Mollerup S, Boye K, Worning P, Holzknecht B, Nygaard S, et al.
J Antimicrob Chemother . 2021 Jun; 76(9):2260-2267. PMID: 34151364
Background: During 2018-19, an increase of vanB vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) was observed in the Capital Region of Denmark. vanA/vanB PCR performed directly on rectal swabs is accurate in detection...

Bartels M, Petersen A, Worning P, Nielsen J, Larner-Svensson H, Krogh Johansen H, et al.
J Clin Microbiol . 2014 Oct; 52(12):4305-8. PMID: 25297335
spa typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has traditionally been done by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing of the spa repeat region. At Hvidovre Hospital, Denmark, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of...

Tavares A, Nielsen J, Boye K, Rohde S, Paulo A, Westh H, et al.
PLoS One . 2014 Jul; 9(7):e98634. PMID: 25033196
Background: Alpha-hemolysin (Hla) is a major virulence factor in the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus infection, being active against a wide range of host cells. Although hla is ubiquitous in S....

Strommenger B, Bartels M, Kurt K, Layer F, Rohde S, Boye K, et al.
J Antimicrob Chemother . 2013 Oct; 69(3):616-22. PMID: 24150844
Objectives: To elucidate the evolutionary history of Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex (CC) 8, which encompasses several globally distributed epidemic lineages, including hospital-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and the highly prevalent...

Larner-Svensson H, Worning P, Bartels M, Hansen L, Boye K, Westh H
Genome Announc . 2013 Jun; 1(3). PMID: 23792746
We report the genome sequence, in five contigs, of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate designated M1. This clinical isolate was from the index patient of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)...

Bartels M, Boye K, Oliveira D, Worning P, Goering R, Westh H
PLoS One . 2013 May; 8(4):e61860. PMID: 23634214
Molecular typing is an important tool in the investigation of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreaks and in following the evolution of MRSA. The staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) contains...

Castillo-Ramirez S, Corander J, Marttinen P, Aldeljawi M, Hanage W, Westh H, et al.
Genome Biol . 2012 Dec; 13(12):R126. PMID: 23270620
Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful tool for understanding both patterns of descent over time and space (phylogeography) and the molecular processes underpinning genome divergence in pathogenic bacteria. Here,...

Hetem D, Westh H, Boye K, Jarlov J, Bonten M, Bootsma M
J Antimicrob Chemother . 2012 Apr; 67(7):1775-80. PMID: 22523315
Objectives: The emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has changed the epidemiology of MRSA infections worldwide. In contrast to hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA), CA-MRSA more frequently affects healthy individuals, both...

BMJ Case Rep . 2011 Aug; 2009. PMID: 21857872
A patient with chronic haemodialysis with a cardiac pacemaker was admitted for five episodes of bacteraemia with Staphylococcus during an 8-month period. The species identification was complicated since the morphological...

Damborg P, Bartels M, Boye K, Guardabassi L, Westh H
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2011 Jun; 55(8):3932-5. PMID: 21646488
PCR mapping of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type IVa and adjacent mobile elements in 94 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains identified two primary structures (A and B) that could be...
