Can the use of assistive technology and interactive therapeutic robots in nursing homes contribute to the spread of infectious disease?
Klein, Jörn; Hjeltnes, Bjarne; Tunsjø, Hege; Charnock, Colin (Canadian Journal of Infection Control;Volume 32, Number 4, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: There is an increasing use of assistive technology and interactive therapeutic robots in nursing homes. However, little is known about the possible risks for transmitting infectious diseases through the use ... -
Detection of Aminoglycoside Resistant Bacteria in Sludge Samples From Norwegian Drinking Water Treatment Plants
Ullman, Ingvild F.; Tunsjø, Hege; Andreassen, Monica; Nielsen, Kaare Magne; Lund, Vidar; Charnock, Colin (Frontiers in Microbiology; March 2019 | Volume 10 | Article 487, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-13)Through a culture-based approach using sludge from drinking water treatment plants, this study reports on the presence of aminoglycoside resistant bacteria at 23 different geographical locations in Norway. Sludge samples ... -
DNA-ekstraksjon: Mengde er ikke synonymt med mangfold
Tunsjø, Hege; Bemanian, Vahid; Noone, John Christopher (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)For å oppnå gode og representative resultater i molekylærgenetiske analyser, er det viktig at nukleinsyrene som benyttes er av tilstrekkelig kvalitet. Som en del av en større studie om kolerektal kreft, var målet å ... -
The effect of toll-like receptor ligands on energy metabolism and myokine expression and secretion in cultured human skeletal muscle cells
Tingstad, Ragna Husby; Norheim, Frode Amador; Haugen, Fred; Feng, Yuan Zeng; Tunsjø, Hege; Thoresen, G. Hege; Rustan, Arild Christian; Charnock, Colin; Aas, Vigdis (Scientific Reports;11, Article number: 24219 (2021), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-20)Skeletal muscle plays an important role in glycaemic control and metabolic homeostasis, making it a tissue of interest with respect to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to determine if ligands of ... -
Implications of stx loss for clinical diagnostics of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli
Senthakumaran, Thulasika; Brandal, Lin Cathrine T.; Lindstedt, Bjørn-Arne; Jørgensen, Silje Bakken; Charnock, Colin; Tunsjø, Hege (European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases;Volume 37, Issue 12, Journal article; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-28)The dynamics related to the loss of stx genes from Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli remain unclear. Current diagnostic procedures have shortcomings in the detection and identification of STEC. This is partly owing ... -
Microbial dynamics with CRC progression: a study of the mucosal microbiota at multiple sites in cancers, adenomatous polyps, and healthy controls
Senthakumaran, Thulasika; Moen, Aina Elisabeth Fossum; Tannæs, Tone Møller; Endres, Alexander; Brackmann, Stephan Andreas; Rounge, Trine Ballestad; Bemanian, Vahid; Tunsjø, Hege (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Accumulating evidence has related the gut microbiota to colorectal cancer (CRC). Fusobacterium nucleatum has repeatedly been linked to colorectal tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate microbial composition ... -
A preliminary study of the use of MinION sequencing to specifcally detect Shiga toxin‑producing Escherichia coli in culture swipes containing multiple serovars of this species
Tunsjø, Hege; Ullmann, Ingvild Falkum; Charnock, Colin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An important challenge relating to clinical diagnostics of the foodborne pathogen Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), is that PCR-detection of the shiga-toxin gene (stx) in DNA from stool samples can be accompanied by a ... -
A preliminary study on the potential of Nanopore MinION and Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize building-dust microbiomes
Nygaard, Anders Benteson; Tunsjø, Hege; Meisal, Roger; Charnock, Colin (Scientific Reports;10, Article number: 3209 (2020), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-30)There is a growing awareness of the importance of indoor microbiomes for human health. Given their complexity, these microbiomes can only be adequately surveyed using high throughput sequencing techniques. Oxford Nanopore's ... -
To really know them you have to grow them
Charnock, Colin; Tunsjø, Hege; Hjeltnes, Bjarne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Bakgrunn: Kun en liten andel av bakteriene i komplekse miljøer som jord, vann og sedimenter lar seg dyrke på syntetiske medier. Identifisering av flere bakterier vil gi ny viten om biosfærens samlede genetiske og ... -
