About

The focus of my research is to understand why some bacteria cause severe infection while other only cause mild or no disease, mainly with focus on bloodstream infection and sepsis caused by group B streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherihia coli (see www.sepsis.no).

Competencies

  • Bloodstream infection
  • Escherichia coli
  • Medical microbiology
  • Sepsis
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Streptococcus agalactiae
