Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Antibiotics
  • Biochemistry

J. W. Costerton mainly investigates Microbiology, Biofilm, Bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Antibiotics. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bacterial Physiological Phenomena and Chronic wound. His Biofilm research includes elements of Isolated cell and Mixed species.

J. W. Costerton interconnects Adhesion, Ecology and Immunology in the investigation of issues within Bacteria. J. W. Costerton combines subjects such as Biophysics and Signal transduction with his study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. His work carried out in the field of Antimicrobial brings together such families of science as Dispersin B and Multidrug tolerance.

His most cited work include:

  • Bacterial biofilms : A common cause of persistent infections (8689 citations)
  • The involvement of cell-to-cell signals in the development of a bacterial biofilm (2721 citations)
  • Bacterial Biofilms in Nature and Disease (2521 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Bacteria, Biofilm, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Antibiotics. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Bacterial Physiological Phenomena, Glycocalyx and Staphylococcus aureus. J. W. Costerton works in the field of Bacteria, focusing on Biofilm matrix in particular.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biofilm, Pseudomonadales is strongly linked to Pseudomonadaceae. In his study, Group B and Pathology is inextricably linked to Antibody, which falls within the broad field of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J. W. Costerton studies Antibiotic resistance which is a part of Antibiotics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (73.04%)
  • Bacteria (50.43%)
  • Biofilm (47.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2014)?

  • Biofilm (47.83%)
  • Microbiology (73.04%)
  • Bacteria (50.43%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biofilm, Microbiology, Bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Antibiotics. His study in Biofilm focuses on Quorum sensing in particular. His studies deal with areas such as Dialysis and Staphylococcus aureus as well as Microbiology.

When carried out as part of a general Bacteria research project, his work on Antibacterial agent and Biofilm matrix is frequently linked to work in Reactor pressure vessel, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biophysics and Chemostat in addition to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Antibiotics study combines topics in areas such as Implant Infection and Immune system.

Between 1998 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Bacterial biofilms : A common cause of persistent infections (8689 citations)
  • Biofilms as complex differentiated communities. (2148 citations)
  • Survival strategies of infectious biofilms. (1334 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Antibiotics
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biofilm, Microbiology, Bacteria, Quorum sensing and Antibiotics. He does research in Biofilm, focusing on Biofilm matrix specifically. His Biofilm matrix study incorporates themes from Antimicrobial, Multidrug tolerance and Phase variation.

He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Microbiology and Diabetic foot through his research. J. W. Costerton performs multidisciplinary studies into Bacteria and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis in his work. His Quorum sensing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Microbial ecology, Gram-negative bacteria and Regulon.
