Assessment of the dispersion of Legionella-containing aerosols from a biological treatment plant
Blatny, Janet Martha; Tutkun, Murat; Fossum, Hannibal Eie; Skogan, Gunnar; Fykse, Else-Marie; Andreassen, Øyvind; Waagen, Viggo; Reif, Bjørn Anders Pettersson (2011)Legionella was detected in aeration ponds (biological treatment plant) at Borregaard Ind. Ltd., Norway, and in air samples harvested directly above these ponds. Since 2005, three outbreaks of legionellosis occurred within ... -
Complete genome sequences of six Legionella pneumophila isolates from two collocated outbreaks of legionnaires' disease in 2005 and 2008 in Sarpsborg/Fredrikstad, Norway
Dybwad, Marius; Aarskaug, Tone; Fykse, Else-Marie; Madslien, Elisabeth Henie; Blatny, Janet Martha (2016)Here, we report the complete genome sequences of Legionella pneumophila isolates from two collocated outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease in 2005 and 2008 in Sarpsborg/Fredrikstad, Norway. One clinical and two environmental ... -
Detection of Legionella pneumophila in a biological treatment plant by co-cultivatiobn with Acanthamoeba castellanii
Fykse, Else-Marie; Aarskaug, Tone; Blatny, Janet Martha (2014)Legionella pneumophila was identified in the aeration ponds of a biological wastewater treatment plant at the pulp and paper industry Borregaard, Sarpsborg, Norway. After 3 outbreaks of Legionaires’ disease reported in ... -
Evaluation of a highly discriminating multiplex multi-locus variable-number of tandem-repeats (MLVA) analysis for Vibrio cholerae
Olsen, Jaran Strand; Aarskaug, Tone; Skogan, Gunnar; Fykse, Else-Marie; Ellingsen, Anette Bauer; Blatny, Janet Martha (2009)Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera and may be used in bioterror actions due to the easiness of its dissemination, and the public fear for acquiring the cholera disease. A simple and highly discriminating ... -
Identification of airborne bacteria by 16S rDNA sequencing, MALDI-TOF MS and the MIDI microbial identification system
Fykse, Else-Marie; Tjärnhage, Torbjörn; Humppi, Tarmo; Eggen, Vilde Sørvik; Ingebretsen, André; Skogan, Gunnar; Olofsson, Göran; Wästerby, Pär; Gradmark, Per-Åke; Larsson, Anders; Dybwad, Marius; Blatny, Janet Martha (2015)The aim of this study was to collect and identify airborne bacteria in Norway, Sweden and Finland and to compare three different technologies for identifying collected airborne bacterial isolates: the “gold standard” method ... -
Laboratory analysis of CBRN-substances: Stakeholder networks as clue to higher CBRN resilience in Europe
Plamboeck, Agneta Hånell; Stöven, Svenja; Davidson, Raquel Duarte; Fykse, Else-Marie; Griffiths, Mark D.; Nieuwenhuizen, Maarten; Rivier, Cédric; van der Schans, Marcel (2016)The threat of terrorists using CBRN agents continues to pose a risk of mass casualties and severe disruption of societal functions in Europe. Standardisation of crisis management activities is one important step towards ... -
Legionella and non-Legionella bacteria in a biological treatment plant
Fykse, Else-Marie; Aarskaug, Tone; Thrane, Ingjerd; Blatny, Janet Martha (2013)Legionella pneumophila were previously identified in the aeration ponds (up to 1010 CFU/L) of a biological wastewater treatment plant at Borregaard Ind. Ltd., Sarpsborg, Norway, and in air samples (up to 3300 CFU/m3) ... -
Microbial community structure in a full-scale anaerobic treatment plant during start-up and first year of operation revealed by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing
