Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Microbiology, Genetics, Multilocus sequence typing, Penicillin binding proteins and Streptococcus pneumoniae are his primary areas of study. Christopher G. Dowson combines subjects such as Molecular epidemiology and Staphylococcus aureus with his study of Microbiology. His study looks at the relationship between Genetics and topics such as Serotype, which overlap with Restriction enzyme.

The concepts of his Multilocus sequence typing study are interwoven with issues in Sequence analysis, Phylogenetics, Typing and Burkholderia cepacia complex, Burkholderia contaminans. He interconnects Neisseria meningitidis and Peptide sequence in the investigation of issues within Penicillin binding proteins. His Streptococcus pneumoniae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genetic transfer, Penicillin, Streptococcus, Streptococcus mitis and Cefotaxime.

His most cited work include:

  • Development of a Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for the Opportunistic Pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (368 citations)
  • Intercontinental Spread of a Multiresistant Clone of Serotype 23F Streptococcus pneumoniae (366 citations)
  • Localized sex in bacteria. (364 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Genetics, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Multilocus sequence typing and Gene. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Burkholderia cepacia complex and Virulence. His Streptococcus pneumoniae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Serotype, Antibacterial agent and Streptococcaceae.

The study incorporates disciplines such as DNA profiling, Phylogenetics, Typing and Sequence analysis in addition to Multilocus sequence typing. Nucleic acid sequence is the focus of his Gene research. His work carried out in the field of Penicillin binding proteins brings together such families of science as Genetic transfer and Cefotaxime.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (43.37%)
  • Genetics (22.45%)
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae (18.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Enzyme (8.67%)
  • Biochemistry (11.73%)
  • Peptidoglycan (9.18%)

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

His main research concerns Enzyme, Biochemistry, Peptidoglycan, Antibiotics and Microbiology. His work on Biosynthesis as part of general Enzyme study is frequently linked to Vaborbactam, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his study, Cytotoxicity, Chelation and Biofilm is strongly linked to Staphylococcus aureus, which falls under the umbrella field of Biochemistry.

His research on Peptidoglycan also deals with topics like

  • Bacterial cell structure that connect with fields like Penicillin binding proteins,
  • Glycosyltransferase, which have a strong connection to In vivo, Transferase, Biophysics, Cooperative binding and Isothermal titration calorimetry. His research in Antibiotics intersects with topics in Drug pipeline, Pharmacology and Lipophilicity. Christopher G. Dowson undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Microbiology and Cow milk through his works.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rapid Covalent-Probe Discovery by Electrophile-Fragment Screening. (67 citations)
  • Combatting AMR: photoactivatable ruthenium(ii)-isoniazid complex exhibits rapid selective antimycobacterial activity. (52 citations)
  • Metal complexes as a promising source for new antibiotics. (51 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Christopher G. Dowson focuses on Enzyme, Bacteria, Antimicrobial, Biochemistry and Combinatorial chemistry. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Enzyme, concentrating on Covalent bond and intersecting with Serine and Bicyclic molecule. His Bacteria research includes elements of Biocompatibility, Cationic polymerization, Organic chemistry and Polymer.

Antimicrobial is a subfield of Microbiology that he studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including HEK 293 cells, Pyrophosphatase and Protein structure. His Peptidoglycan study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hydrolase, Catalytic triad, Cell envelope and Oxyanion hole.
