Microbial Drug Resistance

Top Research Topics at Microbial Drug Resistance?

The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Microbiology, Antibiotic resistance, Drug resistance, Antibiotics and Gene. Multiple drug resistance is a primary topic of Microbiology research in the journal. Tetracycline, Ampicillin, Antimicrobial and Virulence are some topics wherein Antibiotic resistance research discussed in the journal have an impact.

The studies in Drug resistance featured incorporate elements of Ciprofloxacin, Efflux and Genotype. In Microbial Drug Resistance, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Antibiotics research. The study of Genetics serves as the foundation of the Gene research discussed in the journal.

Virology research presented in Microbial Drug Resistance encompasses a variety of subjects, including Penicillin, Erythromycin and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Issues in Klebsiella pneumoniae were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Enterobacteriaceae and Multilocus sequence typing. Microbial Drug Resistance addresses concerns in Multilocus sequence typing which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Typing and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

• Bacteria
• Antibiotics
• Gene

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Microbial Drug Resistance generally zeroes in on subjects such as Microbiology, Antibiotic resistance, Multiple drug resistance, Gene and Escherichia coli. The Microbiology works featured in it incorporate elements from Plasmid, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacteria. Some problems in Klebsiella pneumoniae that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Colistin, clone (Java method) and Multilocus sequence typing.

The concepts on Colistin presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Polymyxin, Acinetobacter baumannii and Colistin resistance. Microbial Drug Resistance facilitates discussions on Antibiotic resistance that incorporate concepts from other fields like Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Genotype, Drug resistance and Virulence. Enterobacteriaceae and Beta-lactamase are among the concentrations of Escherichia coli that garnered much attention in it.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

• Environmental Phage-Based Cocktail and Antibiotic Combination Effects on Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilm in a Human Urine Model. (11 citations)
• Multidrug-Resistant Infections and Outcome of Critically Ill Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Single Center Experience. (10 citations)
• Antibiotic Tolerance in Biofilm and Stationary-Phase Planktonic Cells of Staphylococcus aureus. (10 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 7.01% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 15.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.03% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.56% of all publications and 67.34% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
