Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Antibiotics

Christof von Eiff mostly deals with Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Antibiotics, Micrococcaceae and Staphylococcal infections. His research integrates issues of Genetics, Bacteria, Staphylococcus and Virulence in his study of Microbiology. His studies in Staphylococcus aureus integrate themes in fields like Phenotype, Antimicrobial and Intracellular.

In general Antibiotics study, his work on Antibacterial agent often relates to the realm of Foreign body material, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Christof von Eiff has included themes like Multicenter study, Nose, Bacteremia, Streptococcus and Aminoglycoside in his Micrococcaceae study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene and Toxic shock syndrome.

His most cited work include:

  • Nasal Carriage as a Source of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia (1594 citations)
  • Small colony variants: a pathogenic form of bacteria that facilitates persistent and recurrent infections (795 citations)
  • Pathogenesis of infections due to coagulasenegative staphylococci (729 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcal infections, Micrococcaceae and Antibiotics. The various areas that Christof von Eiff examines in his Microbiology study include Bacteria, Mutant, Staphylococcus and Virulence. His study with Staphylococcus aureus involves better knowledge in Genetics.

His Staphylococcal infections study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacteremia, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Immunology. The Micrococcaceae study combines topics in areas such as Anterior nares, Coagulase and SCCmec. His work deals with themes such as Osteomyelitis, Vancomycin, Daptomycin and Drug resistance, which intersect with Antibiotics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (78.46%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (60.77%)
  • Staphylococcal infections (24.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Microbiology (78.46%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (60.77%)
  • Phenotype (13.08%)

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

Christof von Eiff mainly focuses on Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Phenotype, Staphylococcal infections and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of In vitro, Mutant, Multilocus sequence typing, Genotype and Staphylococcus. Christof von Eiff has researched Staphylococcus aureus in several fields, including Antimicrobial and Gene, Virulence.

Christof von Eiff works mostly in the field of Virulence, limiting it down to topics relating to Extracellular and, in certain cases, Proteases. In his work, Peritonitis and Dicloxacillin is strongly intertwined with Linezolid, which is a subfield of Phenotype. His Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus research includes elements of Veterinary medicine, Molecular epidemiology, Epidemiology and Odds ratio.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Population Dynamics among Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates in Germany during a 6-Year Period (106 citations)
  • Small colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus reveal distinct protein profiles. (66 citations)
  • Population structure of Staphylococcus aureus from remote African Babongo Pygmies (53 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Antibiotics

Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcal infections, Carriage and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are his primary areas of study. His research in Microbiology is mostly focused on Micrococcaceae. His Staphylococcus aureus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Amino acid, Proteome, Multilocus sequence typing, Genotype and Virulence.

His research in Genotype intersects with topics in Virology and Leukocidin. His Virulence research includes themes of Extracellular, Immunology, Bacteremia and Proteases. His Staphylococcal infections research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Odds ratio, Molecular epidemiology, Epidemiology and Veterinary medicine.
