Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Fergal O'Gara mostly deals with Microbiology, Pseudomonas, Gene, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Genetics. His Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Extracellular, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteria, Bacterial phyla and Pythium ultimum. His studies in Pseudomonas integrate themes in fields like Biotechnology and Phosphate.

His Biotechnology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Siderophore, Strain, Genetically engineered and Biological pest control. The study incorporates disciplines such as Botany, Escherichia coli, Repressor, 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol and Rhizosphere in addition to Pseudomonas fluorescens. The various areas that Fergal O'Gara examines in his Operon study include Gene cluster, Secondary metabolism, Polyketide and Synthetic biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Traits of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. involved in suppression of plant root pathogens. (620 citations)
  • Traits of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. involved in suppression of plant root pathogens. (620 citations)
  • Isolation of 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol from a Fluorescent Pseudomonad and Investigation of Physiological Parameters Influencing Its Production (427 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Gene, Biochemistry and Bacteria. He interconnects Quorum sensing, Virulence, Biofilm, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. While the research belongs to areas of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Fergal O'Gara spends his time largely on the problem of Rhizosphere, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Botany and Ecology.

His research in Pseudomonas intersects with topics in Biotechnology and Siderophore. The subject of his Gene research is within the realm of Genetics. His Bacteria research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Antimicrobial, Sponge and Strain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (54.45%)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.50%)
  • Gene (20.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Microbiology (54.45%)
  • Quorum sensing (19.59%)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.50%)

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

Fergal O'Gara focuses on Microbiology, Quorum sensing, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteria and Microbiome. His work deals with themes such as Phylogenetic tree, Thermolabile, Sponge, Genome and Escherichia coli, which intersect with Microbiology. His Phylogenetic tree research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pseudomonas fluorescens, Gene cluster, Secondary metabolite, Marine sponges and Pseudomonas.

His Quorum sensing research is covered under the topics of Virulence, Biofilm and Gene. Specifically, his work in Gene is concerned with the study of Secondary metabolism. His studies in Pseudomonas aeruginosa integrate themes in fields like Cell signaling, Pyocyanin, Signalling and Pathogenic bacteria.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Statin therapy causes gut dysbiosis in mice through a PXR-dependent mechanism. (80 citations)
  • Analogues of Pseudomonas aeruginosa signalling molecules to tackle infections. (23 citations)
  • Analogues of Pseudomonas aeruginosa signalling molecules to tackle infections. (23 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Microbiology, Bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Virulence and Quorum sensing. His work deals with themes such as Sponge, Pan-genome and Pseudoalteromonas, which intersect with Microbiology. His Bacteria study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Marine invertebrates, Gut microbiome, Cause of death, Polyketide and Computational biology.

His work carried out in the field of Pseudomonas aeruginosa brings together such families of science as Pyocyanin and Pathogenic bacteria. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance, Biofilm, Antimicrobial and Signalling. His study looks at the relationship between Escherichia coli and topics such as Hydrolysis, which overlap with Metagenomics.
