Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Erik C. Böttger spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Ribosomal RNA, Genetics, Mycobacterium and Bacteria. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Mycobacterium genavense, Virology and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Ribosomal RNA study combines topics in areas such as Ribosomal protein, Point mutation, Molecular biology, Protein biosynthesis and Mycobacterium smegmatis.

His Gene, Ribosomal DNA, Nucleic acid sequence, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics study are his primary interests in Genetics. His Mycobacterium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cardiac surgery, 16S ribosomal RNA and Polymerase chain reaction. Erik C. Böttger has researched Bacteria in several fields, including Biochemistry and Nucleic acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Isolation and direct complete nucleotide determination of entire genes. Characterization of a gene coding for 16S ribosomal RNA (2145 citations)
  • Rapid identification of mycobacteria to the species level by polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme analysis. (1254 citations)
  • Detection and identification of mycobacteria by amplification of rRNA. (452 citations)

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

Erik C. Böttger mainly focuses on Microbiology, Genetics, Ribosomal RNA, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Tuberculosis. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like 16S ribosomal RNA, Mycobacterium and Bacteria. His work deals with themes such as Nucleic acid sequence and Phylogenetics, Ribosomal DNA, which intersect with 16S ribosomal RNA.

His work in Genetics addresses subjects such as Mycobacterium smegmatis, which are connected to disciplines such as RRNA Operon and 23S ribosomal RNA. His Ribosomal RNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Aminoglycoside, Molecular biology, Protein biosynthesis and Ribosome. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Drug resistance and Virology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (37.68%)
  • Genetics (22.18%)
  • Ribosomal RNA (22.54%)

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

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (21.83%)
  • Microbiology (37.68%)
  • Tuberculosis (15.14%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Tuberculosis, Drug resistance and Antibiotics. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Drug and Isoniazid. His Microbiology study typically links adjacent topics like Enterobacteriaceae.

Erik C. Böttger has researched Tuberculosis in several fields, including Pharmacology and Virology. His Drug resistance research is classified as research in Genetics. His research integrates issues of Ribosomal RNA and Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae in his study of Antibiotics.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prolonged Outbreak of Mycobacterium chimaera Infection After Open-Chest Heart Surgery (195 citations)
  • Acquired Resistance to Bedaquiline and Delamanid in Therapy for Tuberculosis (194 citations)
  • Healthcare-associated prosthetic heart valve, aortic vascular graft, and disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera infections subsequent to open heart surgery. (133 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Drug resistance, Microbiology and Internal medicine. The various areas that Erik C. Böttger examines in his Tuberculosis study include Antibiotics, Genotyping, Pharmacology and Confidence interval. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Isoniazid, Typing, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Virology.

His work carried out in the field of Drug resistance brings together such families of science as Rifampicin resistance, Rifampicin, rpoB and Computational biology. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Microbiology. His Internal medicine study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Genetics.
