Applying Unsterile Microporous Tape onto Surgical Wounds: Tape Contamination and Clinical Rationale
Ausen, Kjersti; Kroknes, Marthe Lind; Gunnarson, Gudjon; Radtke, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Fomites are surfaces that carry contaminants and may cause infection. We wanted to assess the bacterial load on rolls of nonsterile microporous tape in a hospital setting and explore the scientific rationale ... -
Can clothing systems and human activities in operating rooms with mixing ventilation systems help achieve 10 CFU/m3 level during orthopaedic surgeries?
Cao, Guangyu; Pedersen, Christoffer; Zhang, Yixian; Drangsholt, Finn; Radtke, Andreas; Langvatn, Håkon; Stenstad, Liv-Inger; Mathisen, Hans Martin; Skogås, Jan Gunnar (Journal article, 2021)The level of airborne microbial contamination in operating rooms (ORs) is an important indicator of indoor air quality and ensures a clean surgical environment. It is necessary to research how different factors affect the ... -
Investigation of an outbreak caused by antibiotic susceptible Klebsiella oxytoca in a neonatal intensive care unit in Norway
Rønning, Torunn Gresdal; Ås, Christina Gabrielsen; Støen, Ragnhild; Bergh, Kåre; Afset, Jan Egil; Holte, Mari Sagli; Radtke, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Abstract Aim Klebsiella spp. have been stated to be the most frequent cause of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) outbreaks. We report an outbreak of Klebsiella oxytoca in a NICU at a tertiary care hospital in Norway ... -
Kartlegging av antibiotikaprofylakse ved primær kne- og hofteprotesekirurg
Storbekkrønning, Gunhild (Master thesis, 2016)Background: Antibiotic prophylaxis contributes to the reduction in incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in primary knee and hip replacement. It is an increased awareness about proper antibiotic use and antibiotic ... -

Silenced vanA gene cluster on a transferable plasmid cause outbreak of vancomycin variable enterococci
Sivertsen, Audun; Pedersen, Torunn Annie; Larssen, Kjersti Wik; Bergh, Kåre; Rønning, Torunn Gresdal; Radtke, Andreas; Hegstad, Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05)We report an outbreak of vancomycin-variable vanA+ enterococci (VVE) able to escape phenotypic detection by current guidelines and demonstrate the molecular mechanisms for in vivo switching into vancomycin resistance and ... -
Ventilation design conditions associated with airborne bacteria levels within the wound area during surgical procedures: a systematic review
Aganovic, Amar; Cao, Guangyu; Fečer, Tomáš; Ljungqvist, Bengt L.; Lytsy, Birgitta; Radtke, Andreas; Reinmüller, Berit; Traversari, Roberto A.A.L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Without confirmation of the ventilation design conditions (typology and airflow rate), the common practice of identifying unidirectional airflow (UDAF) systems as equivalent to ultra-clean air ventilation ...
