Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Streptococcus mutans, Biofilm, Bacteria and Mutant. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Signal transduction and Gene, Allele. His study in Signal transduction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wild type and Operon.

His research integrates issues of Esterase and Organic chemistry in his study of Streptococcus mutans. Dennis G. Cvitkovitch has included themes like Response regulator, Histidine kinase, Chemostat and Plasmid in his Biofilm study. In his study, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus casei and Prevotella is inextricably linked to Enterococcus faecalis, which falls within the broad field of Bacteria.

His most cited work include:

  • Natural genetic transformation of Streptococcus mutans growing in biofilms. (469 citations)
  • A Quorum-Sensing Signaling System Essential for Genetic Competence in Streptococcus mutans Is Involved in Biofilm Formation (386 citations)
  • PCR ligation mutagenesis in transformable streptococci: application and efficiency (294 citations)

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

Microbiology, Streptococcus mutans, Biofilm, Biochemistry and Mutant are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Quorum sensing, Gene, Transformation, Virulence and Bacteria. His work on Secretory protein as part of general Gene research is frequently linked to Streptococcus pyogenes, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He combines subjects such as Regulation of gene expression, Gene expression, Regulon, Response regulator and Signal transduction with his study of Streptococcus mutans. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dental plaque, Histidine kinase, Chemostat and Cell division in addition to Biofilm. His Mutant research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology and Plasmid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (60.19%)
  • Streptococcus mutans (60.19%)
  • Biofilm (40.78%)

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

  • Streptococcus mutans (60.19%)
  • Microbiology (60.19%)
  • Biofilm (40.78%)

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

Dennis G. Cvitkovitch spends much of his time researching Streptococcus mutans, Microbiology, Biofilm, Bacteria and Biochemistry. Dennis G. Cvitkovitch combines subjects such as Gene expression, Biodegradation, Wild type, Hydrolysis and Esterase with his study of Streptococcus mutans. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Regulon, Mutant, Gene, Regulation of gene expression and Transformation.

His Biofilm research incorporates elements of In vitro and Plankton. His work in Bacteria tackles topics such as Virulence which are related to areas like Signal transduction, Cotransporter, Homeostasis, Dental plaque and Escherichia coli. His work on Cystine, Phosphorylation, Transport protein and Sortase as part of general Biochemistry research is frequently linked to Amyloid, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bacterial biogeography of the human digestive tract (262 citations)
  • Cariogenic Bacteria Degrade Dental Resin Composites and Adhesives (145 citations)
  • Mechanistic Insights Revealed by the Crystal Structure of a Histidine Kinase with Signal Transducer and Sensor Domains (111 citations)
