Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Clostridium perfringens, Virulence, Gene and Genetics. Julian I. Rood has included themes like Extracellular, Disease and Virology in his Microbiology study. His Clostridium perfringens study combines topics in areas such as Tetracycline, Plasmid, Enteritis, Mutant and Antibiotic resistance.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Bacteria, Toxin, Pathogen and Enterotoxin in addition to Virulence. Julian I. Rood interconnects Streptogramin B and Streptogramins in the investigation of issues within Gene. His study in the field of Genome, Structural gene, Operon and Response regulator is also linked to topics like Shuttle vector.

His most cited work include:

  • Gram-positive pathogens (830 citations)
  • Nomenclature for macrolide and macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance determinants. (727 citations)
  • Toxin B is essential for virulence of Clostridium difficile (609 citations)

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

His main research concerns Microbiology, Clostridium perfringens, Genetics, Virulence and Plasmid. His Microbiology research integrates issues from Proteases, Virulence factor and Virology. His Clostridium perfringens research incorporates elements of Tetracycline, Enteritis and Biochemistry, Gene, Mutant.

His work carried out in the field of Virulence brings together such families of science as Extracellular, Pathogen, Protease and Bacteria. His Plasmid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular biology and Structural gene, Escherichia coli. His Molecular biology research includes elements of Molecular cloning and Operon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (69.01%)
  • Clostridium perfringens (57.19%)
  • Genetics (36.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Clostridium perfringens (57.19%)
  • Microbiology (69.01%)
  • Virulence (40.26%)

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

Clostridium perfringens, Microbiology, Virulence, Plasmid and Gene are his primary areas of study. While the research belongs to areas of Clostridium perfringens, he spends his time largely on the problem of Molecular biology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Operon. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Mutant, Pathogenesis and Virology.

Julian I. Rood has researched Virulence in several fields, including Proteases, Pathogen and Clostridia. His Plasmid research is within the category of Genetics. His Complementation study in the realm of Gene connects with subjects such as Sortase.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Towards an understanding of the role of Clostridium perfringens toxins in human and animal disease (183 citations)
  • Defining the Roles of TcdA and TcdB in Localized Gastrointestinal Disease, Systemic Organ Damage, and the Host Response during Clostridium difficile Infections (157 citations)
  • Expansion of the Clostridium perfringens toxin-based typing scheme. (140 citations)
