Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Antibiotic resistance, Antibiotics, Antimicrobial and Wastewater. His study brings together the fields of Escherichia coli and Microbiology. His Antibiotic resistance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Multiple drug resistance, Enterococcus, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Public health and Virulence.

As part of one scientific family, Anthony I. Okoh deals mainly with the area of Antibiotics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Aeromonas, and often Intensive care medicine, Outbreak and Integron. As a part of the same scientific family, Anthony I. Okoh mostly works in the field of Antimicrobial, focusing on Medicinal plants and, on occasion, Antimicrobial action, Drug and Antimicrobial chemotherapy. His work carried out in the field of Wastewater brings together such families of science as Effluent and Sewage treatment.

His most cited work include:

  • Assessment techniques of antimicrobial properties of natural compounds of plant origin: current methods and future trends (431 citations)
  • Bacterial Exopolysaccharides: Functionality and Prospects (305 citations)
  • Preliminary phytochemical screening and In vitro antioxidant activities of the aqueous extract of Helichrysum longifolium DC (280 citations)

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

Anthony I. Okoh focuses on Microbiology, Bacteria, Antibiotic resistance, Veterinary medicine and Food science. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Escherichia coli and Virulence. Anthony I. Okoh has included themes like Tetracycline, Ampicillin and Multiple drug resistance, Drug resistance in his Antibiotic resistance study.

His Veterinary medicine study combines topics in areas such as Wastewater, Effluent and Sewage treatment. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sewage and Vibrio in addition to Effluent. Polysaccharide and Nuclear chemistry is closely connected to Flocculation in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Food science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (28.87%)
  • Bacteria (17.01%)
  • Antibiotic resistance (15.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Antibiotic resistance (15.46%)
  • Veterinary medicine (13.14%)
  • Cape (10.57%)

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

Anthony I. Okoh spends much of his time researching Antibiotic resistance, Veterinary medicine, Cape, Bacteria and Tetracycline. His study explores the link between Antibiotic resistance and topics such as Virulence that cross with problems in Microbiology. His Veterinary medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, Amikacin, Vibrio mimicus and Imipenem.

His work deals with themes such as Biotechnology and Fermentation, Food science, which intersect with Bacteria. His Tetracycline research incorporates elements of Cholera, Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim. His studies deal with areas such as Resistance and Sewage treatment as well as Antibiotics.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Occurrence of organochlorine pesticide residues in biological and environmental matrices in Africa: A two-decade review. (23 citations)
  • A critical review on the occurrence of resistomes in the environment and their removal from wastewater using apposite treatment technologies: Limitations, successes and future improvement. (14 citations)
  • Bacillus sp. FPF-1 Produced Keratinase with High Potential for Chicken Feather Degradation. (11 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Antibiotic resistance, Keratinase, Bacteria, Sewage treatment and Listeria monocytogenes are his primary areas of study. His Antibiotic resistance study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Antibiotics. Anthony I. Okoh focuses mostly in the field of Keratinase, narrowing it down to topics relating to Fermentation and, in certain cases, Biodegradation.

In his research on the topic of Bacteria, 16S ribosomal RNA, Feather and Extracellular is strongly related with Food science. His Sewage treatment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wastewater, Repeatability and Soil water. To a larger extent, Anthony I. Okoh studies Microbiology with the aim of understanding Cefotaxime.
