Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Antibiotics
  • Bacteria
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcal infections, Intensive care medicine and Infection control. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetics, Genotyping and Staphylococcus aureus. His work on Meticillin as part of general Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus study is frequently linked to European union and Royaume uni, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Staphylococcal infections research includes elements of Family medicine, Antimicrobial chemotherapy, Bacteremia, MRSA infection and Multilocus sequence typing. His research integrates issues of Psychological intervention, Outbreak, Epidemiology and Isolation in his study of Intensive care medicine. His study in Infection control is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Toxicology, Emergency medicine, Transmission, Biocide and Drug resistance.

His most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the validation and application of typing methods for use in bacterial epidemiology (611 citations)
  • Harmonization of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis protocols for epidemiological typing of strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a single approach developed by consensus in 10 European laboratories and its application for tracing the spread of related strains. (598 citations)
  • ESCMID guidelines for the management of the infection control measures to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in hospitalized patients (467 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Infection control, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Intensive care medicine and Staphylococcal infections. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Plasmid, Virology and Staphylococcus aureus. The Infection control study combines topics in areas such as Family medicine, Emergency medicine, Antibiotic resistance, Public health and Hygiene.

His studies link Multilocus sequence typing with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. His Intensive care medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychological intervention, Mupirocin and Isolation. His research investigates the connection with Staphylococcal infections and areas like Pediatrics which intersect with concerns in Confidence interval and Specialty.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (34.13%)
  • Infection control (28.85%)
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (19.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Infection control (28.85%)
  • Intensive care medicine (16.35%)
  • Health care (10.10%)

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

Barry Cookson mainly investigates Infection control, Intensive care medicine, Health care, Randomized controlled trial and European union. Barry Cookson interconnects Nursing, Outbreak, Family medicine and Hygiene in the investigation of issues within Infection control. His work is dedicated to discovering how Outbreak, Evidence-based medicine are connected with Acute care and other disciplines.

His work deals with themes such as Transmission, Staphylococcal infections, Clinical microbiology and Interquartile range, which intersect with Intensive care medicine. As a part of the same scientific family, Barry Cookson mostly works in the field of Transmission, focusing on Isolation and, on occasion, Multi-Drug Resistant Organism, Contact precautions, Medical microbiology and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Barry Cookson combines subjects such as Epidemiology and Drug resistance with his study of Pediatrics.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • ESCMID guidelines for the management of the infection control measures to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in hospitalized patients (467 citations)
  • Systematic literature analysis and review of targeted preventive measures to limit healthcare-associated infections by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (69 citations)
  • STROBE-AMS: recommendations to optimise reporting of epidemiological studies on antimicrobial resistance and informing improvement in antimicrobial stewardship (43 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Antibiotics
  • Health care

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Infection control, Antimicrobial stewardship, MEDLINE, Intensive care medicine and Epidemiology. His Infection control research includes elements of Staphylococcal infections, Clinical microbiology, Clinical Microbiology and Infection and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. His Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Intensive care and Isolation.

His MEDLINE research integrates issues from Cost–benefit analysis, Meticillin resistant and Specialty. In his research on the topic of Intensive care medicine, Outbreak, Evidence-based medicine, Acute care, Hygiene and Pediatrics is strongly related with Transmission. His research in Epidemiology intersects with topics in Psychological intervention, Guideline and Medical physics.
