Real-time PCR and NASBA for rapid and sensitive detection of Vibrio cholerae in ballast water
(2012)
Transport of ballast water is one major factor in the transmission of aquatic organisms, including pathogenic bacteria. The IMO-guidelines of the Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and ...
Detection of Legionella pneumophila in a biological treatment plant by co-cultivatiobn with Acanthamoeba castellanii
(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 ...
Complete genome sequences of six Legionella pneumophila isolates from two collocated outbreaks of legionnaires' disease in 2005 and 2008 in Sarpsborg/Fredrikstad, Norway
(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 ...
Assessment of the dispersion of Legionella-containing aerosols from a biological treatment plant
(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 ...
Identification of airborne bacteria by 16S rDNA sequencing, MALDI-TOF MS and the MIDI microbial identification system
(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 ...
Legionella and non-Legionella bacteria in a biological treatment plant
(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) ...
