Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Antibiotics

His primary areas of study are Staphylococcus aureus, Microbiology, Staphylococcal infections, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Phenotype. Staphylococcus aureus is a subfield of Genetics that Karsten Becker tackles. His research on Microbiology focuses in particular on Antibiotics.

His Staphylococcal infections study combines topics in areas such as Transmission, Molecular epidemiology and Infection control. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Veterinary medicine, Carriage, Epidemiology and Pediatrics. His Phenotype research includes elements of RNA, Northern blot, cDNA library and Mutant.

His most cited work include:

  • Nasal Carriage as a Source of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia (1594 citations)
  • Small colony variants: a pathogenic form of bacteria that facilitates persistent and recurrent infections (795 citations)
  • Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (591 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcal infections and Antibiotics. The various areas that Karsten Becker examines in his Microbiology study include Genetics, Multilocus sequence typing and Virulence. Karsten Becker focuses mostly in the field of Staphylococcus aureus, narrowing it down to topics relating to Phenotype and, in certain cases, Mutant.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Carriage, Epidemiology, Infection control and Veterinary medicine in addition to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. His work deals with themes such as Livestock and Colonization, which intersect with Veterinary medicine. His research ties Bacteria and Antibiotics together.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (58.05%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (51.19%)
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (18.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Staphylococcus aureus (51.19%)
  • Microbiology (58.05%)
  • Antibiotics (13.46%)

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

Karsten Becker mainly focuses on Staphylococcus aureus, Microbiology, Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance and Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. He has researched Staphylococcus aureus in several fields, including Hemolysis and Internal medicine. Karsten Becker is involved in the study of Microbiology that focuses on Antimicrobial in particular.

The Antibiotics study combines topics in areas such as Bacteriophage, Intensive care medicine, Chills, Staphylococcus and Debridement. The concepts of his Antibiotic resistance study are interwoven with issues in Health care, Healthcare system, Opinion leadership, Infection control and Medical microbiology. Karsten Becker interconnects Serial passage, Agar plate, Colonization and Fusidic acid in the investigation of issues within Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Developmental roadmap for antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems (74 citations)
  • Are coagulase-negative staphylococci virulent? (50 citations)
  • Rapid Detection of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC β-Lactamases in Enterobacterales: Development of a Screening Panel Using the MALDI-TOF MS-Based Direct-on-Target Microdroplet Growth Assay. (25 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Antibiotics

Karsten Becker mainly investigates Staphylococcus aureus, Microbiology, Antibiotics, Intensive care medicine and Enterobacterales. His study in Staphylococcus aureus focuses on Cefoxitin in particular. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Carbapenemase producing, Escherichia coli, Genotyping, Mupirocin and Ceftazidime/avibactam.

His research integrates issues of Veterinary medicine, Carriage and Coagulase, Staphylococcus in his study of Antibiotics. His work carried out in the field of Intensive care medicine brings together such families of science as Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Position paper. His Enterobacterales research focuses on subjects like Antibiotic resistance, which are linked to Colonization, Enterococcus faecium and Sustainability.
