Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Alison D. O'Brien mainly investigates Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Toxin, Enterobacteriaceae and Shiga-like toxin. Her research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Mutant, Salmonella, Bacteria, In vivo and Virulence. Her study looks at the relationship between Escherichia coli and fields such as Virology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Alison D. O'Brien combines subjects such as Enterotoxin, Antiserum, Shigella dysenteriae, Kidney and Shiga toxin with her study of Toxin. Her Enterobacteriaceae research incorporates elements of Plasmid and Feces. In her research, HeLa is intimately related to Vero cell, which falls under the overarching field of Shiga-like toxin.

Her most cited work include:

  • Shiga and Shiga-like toxins. (594 citations)
  • Shiga-like toxin-converting phages from Escherichia coli strains that cause hemorrhagic colitis or infantile diarrhea (503 citations)
  • Multicenter Evaluation of a Sequence-Based Protocol for Subtyping Shiga Toxins and Standardizing Stx Nomenclature (497 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Shiga toxin, Toxin and Virology. Her Microbiology research includes themes of Salmonella, Bacteria, Gene, Virulence and Enterobacteriaceae. Her Escherichia coli study frequently links to other fields, such as Molecular biology.

While the research belongs to areas of Shiga toxin, Alison D. O'Brien spends her time largely on the problem of Antibody, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Lethal dose. Her research integrates issues of Vero cell, Shigella, Enterotoxin and Shigella dysenteriae in her study of Toxin. Her work on Serotype as part of general Virology research is frequently linked to Bloody diarrhea, bridging the gap between disciplines.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (79.38%)
  • Escherichia coli (54.64%)
  • Shiga toxin (33.51%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Microbiology (79.38%)
  • Shiga toxin (33.51%)
  • Escherichia coli (54.64%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, Shiga toxin, Escherichia coli, Virulence and Virology. She works on Microbiology which deals in particular with Toxin. Her Shiga toxin study combines topics in areas such as Pathogenicity island, Lethal dose and Hemorrhagic colitis.

Her studies in Escherichia coli integrate themes in fields like Vero cell, Monoclonal antibody, Outbreak and In vivo. Her Virulence study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plasmid, Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli, Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus. The various areas that Alison D. O'Brien examines in her Virology study include Bacterial adhesin, In vitro, Antibiotics and Pathogenesis.

Between 2010 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Multicenter Evaluation of a Sequence-Based Protocol for Subtyping Shiga Toxins and Standardizing Stx Nomenclature (497 citations)
  • Pathogenesis of Shiga-Toxin Producing Escherichia coli (127 citations)
  • Mouse Models of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Infection and Shiga Toxin Injection (118 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Alison D. O'Brien focuses on Microbiology, Shiga toxin, Escherichia coli, Virology and STX2. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lysogenic cycle, Pathogenicity island, Virulence, Hemorrhagic colitis and Bacillus anthracis in addition to Microbiology. Her work in Virulence covers topics such as Anthrax toxin which are related to areas like Toxin.

Her Shiga toxin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pathogen, Intestinal epithelium and Genotype. Her work carried out in the field of Escherichia coli brings together such families of science as Immunity, Signal transduction, Hemolysin Proteins, Proinflammatory cytokine and Innate immune system. Her Virology research integrates issues from Epitope, Epithelium, Ames strain and Pathogenesis.
