Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Alexander Tomasz spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Penicillin binding proteins, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Antibiotics. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Virology and Bacteria. As part of the same scientific family, Alexander Tomasz usually focuses on Penicillin binding proteins, concentrating on Virulence and intersecting with Genetic transfer.

His Streptococcus pneumoniae study incorporates themes from Serotype, Antibacterial agent, Cell wall and Streptococcaceae. His studies examine the connections between Staphylococcus aureus and genetics, as well as such issues in Strain, with regards to Outbreak. His work in the fields of Genetics, such as Massive parallel sequencing, 2 base encoding, Sanger sequencing and Hybrid genome assembly, overlaps with other areas such as Sequence assembly.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome sequencing in microfabricated high-density picolitre reactors (7254 citations)
  • Rapid Pneumococcal Evolution in Response to Clinical Interventions (730 citations)
  • Tackling antibiotic resistance (650 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Biochemistry, Bacteria and Penicillin binding proteins. His studies deal with areas such as Peptidoglycan, Virology and Staphylococcus aureus as well as Microbiology. Alexander Tomasz has researched Staphylococcus aureus in several fields, including Antibacterial agent and Gene.

Alexander Tomasz has included themes like Serotype, Antibiotic resistance, Molecular epidemiology and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in his Streptococcus pneumoniae study. The various areas that he examines in his Bacteria study include Bacteriophage and Enzyme. His Penicillin study combines topics in areas such as Tetracycline, Erythromycin and Chloramphenicol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (74.49%)
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae (32.99%)
  • Biochemistry (24.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2020)?

  • Microbiology (74.49%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (19.39%)
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (10.20%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Peptidoglycan and Genetics. Alexander Tomasz interconnects SCCmec and Virology in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plasmid and Antibacterial agent in addition to Staphylococcus aureus.

The Peptidoglycan study combines topics in areas such as Mutant and Lysozyme. His Bacterial protein, Hybrid genome assembly and DNA sequencing theory study, which is part of a larger body of work in Genetics, is frequently linked to Sequence assembly, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Computational biology research integrates issues from Sanger sequencing, 2 base encoding, Massive parallel sequencing and DNA sequencing.

Between 2003 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Genome sequencing in microfabricated high-density picolitre reactors (7254 citations)
  • Rapid Pneumococcal Evolution in Response to Clinical Interventions (730 citations)
  • Tackling antibiotic resistance (650 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Peptidoglycan, Genetics and Antibiotic resistance. His work deals with themes such as Whole genome sequencing and Bacteria, which intersect with Microbiology. All of his Genetics and Gene, Prophage, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Massive parallel sequencing and 2 base encoding investigations are sub-components of the entire Genetics study.

His Streptococcus pneumoniae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Serotype, Molecular epidemiology and Antigenic variation. His Antibiotic resistance research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global health, Biotechnology and Virulence. In his study, Drug resistance is inextricably linked to Antimicrobial, which falls within the broad field of Antibiotics.
