What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Hilde E. Smith mainly focuses on Microbiology, Streptococcus suis, Virulence, Serotype and Escherichia coli.
The various areas that Hilde E. Smith examines in her Microbiology study include Plasmid, Genetics, Horizontal gene transfer, Fibronectin binding and Polymerase chain reaction.
Her Streptococcus suis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Virology and Streptococcaceae.
Her Virulence study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phenotype, Extracellular and Mutant.
She combines subjects such as Antibiotics, Broiler, Salmonella and Restriction fragment length polymorphism with her study of Escherichia coli.
Her study in Gene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Amino acid and C-terminus.
Her most cited work include:
- Identification and characterization of the cps locus of Streptococcus suis serotype 2: the capsule protects against phagocytosis and is an important virulence factor. (307 citations)
- Identification of two proteins associated with virulence of Streptococcus suis type 2. (188 citations)
- Rapid evolution of virulence and drug resistance in the emerging zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis (184 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Microbiology, Streptococcus suis, Virulence, Gene and Serotype.
Her studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Gene expression, Virology, Mutant, Bacteria and Polymerase chain reaction.
Hilde E. Smith studies Streptococcus suis serotype 2, a branch of Streptococcus suis.
Her Virulence study also includes
- Phenotype together with Pathogenesis,
- Genotype that connect with fields like Genetic diversity.
Gene is a subfield of Genetics that Hilde E. Smith investigates.
Her research in Serotype intersects with topics in Phagocytosis, Hemolysin, Arthritis, T cell and Immunity.
She most often published in these fields:
- Microbiology (71.43%)
- Streptococcus suis (57.14%)
- Virulence (43.88%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Virulence (43.88%)
- Gene (28.57%)
- Genome (9.18%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Virulence, Gene, Genome, Streptococcus suis and Microbiology are her primary areas of study.
Her research links Pathogen with Virulence.
Her study on Gene is covered under Genetics.
Her research on Streptococcus suis frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Serotype.
Her study explores the link between Serotype and topics such as Locus that cross with problems in Genotype.
Hilde E. Smith has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Human pathogen, Pathogenesis and Sepsis.
Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- An emerging zoonotic clone in the Netherlands provides clues to virulence and zoonotic potential of Streptococcus suis (24 citations)
- Genomic and functional characterisation of IncX3 plasmids encoding blaSHV-12 in Escherichia coli from human and animal origin. (18 citations)
- In vivo transcriptomes of Streptococcus suis reveal genes required for niche-specific adaptation and pathogenesis. (11 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Hilde E. Smith mostly deals with Virulence, Gene, Genomics, Horizontal gene transfer and Genome.
Her research on Virulence focuses in particular on Streptococcus suis.
All of her Gene and Transcriptome, Gene expression, DNA sequencing, Synteny and Escherichia coli investigations are sub-components of the entire Gene study.
She has included themes like Transmission, Virology, Plasmid and Clone in her Genomics study.
