Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Cynthia B. Whitchurch focuses on Microbiology, Cell biology, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pilus and Mutant. Her Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacteria, Biofilm, Fimbria, GGDEF domain and PilZ domain. The study incorporates disciplines such as Extracellular, Leading edge and Multicellular organism in addition to Biofilm.

Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rhoptry neck, Rhoptry, Malaria and Cytokinesis. Her Pseudomonas aeruginosa research includes elements of Quorum sensing, Virulence, Secretion and Molecular biology, Gel electrophoresis. Her study focuses on the intersection of Pilus and fields such as Motility with connections in the field of Myxococcus xanthus and Flagellum.

Her most cited work include:

  • Extracellular DNA required for bacterial biofilm formation (1528 citations)
  • Roles of type IV pili, flagellum-mediated motility and extracellular DNA in the formation of mature multicellular structures in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. (272 citations)
  • Bacterial membrane vesicles deliver peptidoglycan to NOD1 in epithelial cells (260 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Microbiology, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Biofilm, Cell biology and Bacteria. Cynthia B. Whitchurch combines subjects such as Fimbria, Mutant and Pilus with her study of Microbiology. Her Pseudomonas aeruginosa research integrates issues from Quorum sensing, Virulence factor, Virulence, Gene expression and Cystic fibrosis.

Cynthia B. Whitchurch interconnects Lysis and Multicellular organism in the investigation of issues within Biofilm. In her research, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is intimately related to Pathogen, which falls under the overarching field of Cell biology. Her Bacteria study incorporates themes from DNA and Transformation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (71.53%)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (55.56%)
  • Biofilm (47.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Microbiology (71.53%)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (55.56%)
  • Biofilm (47.92%)

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

Cynthia B. Whitchurch mainly investigates Microbiology, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Biofilm, Bacteria and Lysis. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Whole genome sequencing and Virulence. Her Antibiotic resistance research extends to the thematically linked field of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Her study looks at the relationship between Biofilm and fields such as Pilus, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Cynthia B. Whitchurch has included themes like Vesicle, Membrane, Bacterial outer membrane, Escherichia coli and Cell biology in her Bacteria study. The various areas that Cynthia B. Whitchurch examines in her Lysis study include Cell cluster, Lysin, Matrix, Extracellular polymeric substance and Extracellular dna.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Honey can inhibit and eliminate biofilms produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (17 citations)
  • Characterizing the Mechanism of Action of an Ancient Antimicrobial, Manuka Honey, against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using Modern Transcriptomics. (10 citations)
  • Complete Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Reference Strain PAK. (9 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Cynthia B. Whitchurch mostly deals with Microbiology, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Virulence, Biofilm and Bacteria. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both genomic DNA, Pandoraea, 16S ribosomal RNA and Whole genome sequencing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Bacilli, Pandoraea pnomenusa and Phylogenetic tree in addition to Whole genome sequencing.

Her Pseudomonas aeruginosa research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Manuka Honey, Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance and Antimicrobial. Cynthia B. Whitchurch has included themes like Quorum sensing, Antibacterial activity, Pathogen and Chronic wound in her Antibiotics study. Her Virulence research includes elements of Transformation, Exogenous DNA and Horizontal gene transfer.
