Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Plasmid, Genetics, Typing, Replicon and Gene. Laura Villa has included themes like Salmonella, Salmonella enterica, Microbiology, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Polymerase chain reaction in her Plasmid study. Her studies examine the connections between Microbiology and genetics, as well as such issues in Escherichia coli, with regards to Bacteria.

Her work is connected to Sequence analysis, Antibiotic resistance, Genome and Integron, as a part of Genetics. The concepts of her Typing study are interwoven with issues in Virology, Enterobacteriaceae, Multilocus sequence typing, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Virulence. The various areas that Laura Villa examines in her Multilocus sequence typing study include Contig and Plasmidome.

Her most cited work include:

  • Identification of plasmids by PCR-based replicon typing (1779 citations)
  • In Silico Detection and Typing of Plasmids using PlasmidFinder and Plasmid Multilocus Sequence Typing (1528 citations)
  • Replicon sequence typing of IncF plasmids carrying virulence and resistance determinants (409 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Plasmid, Microbiology, Genetics, Gene and Salmonella enterica. Laura Villa studies Plasmid, focusing on Replicon in particular. Her Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella and Virology.

Laura Villa interconnects Antimicrobial, Antibacterial agent, Bacteria and Drug resistance in the investigation of issues within Gene. The Salmonella enterica study combines topics in areas such as Tetracycline and Serotype. Her Sequence analysis study incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Contig.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Plasmid (57.69%)
  • Microbiology (49.04%)
  • Genetics (44.23%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Plasmid (57.69%)
  • Genetics (44.23%)
  • Microbiology (49.04%)

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

Laura Villa focuses on Plasmid, Genetics, Microbiology, Gene and Multilocus sequence typing. Her research in Plasmid is mostly concerned with Replicon. Her work carried out in the field of Replicon brings together such families of science as Enterobacter cloacae, Typing and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

Many of her studies involve connections with topics such as Heritability of autism and Genetics. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Salmonella enterica, Salmonella and Escherichia coli. Her Gene research integrates issues from Transmission and Bacteria.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Novel plasmid-mediated colistin resistance mcr-4 gene in Salmonella and Escherichia coli, Italy 2013, Spain and Belgium, 2015 to 2016. (284 citations)
  • Multiplex PCR for detection of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance determinants, mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, mcr-4 and mcr-5 for surveillance purposes. (174 citations)
  • Diversity, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance of the KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 clone. (64 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Laura Villa mainly investigates Plasmid, Microbiology, Virulence, Typing and Antibiotic resistance. Her Plasmid research is under the purview of Gene. Laura Villa combines subjects such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with her study of Microbiology.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Typing, Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is strongly linked to Replicon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Multiplex polymerase chain reaction, Multiplex, Serotype and Salmonella enterica, Salmonella in addition to MCR-1. Enterobacteriaceae is a subfield of Genetics that Laura Villa studies.
