Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Lee W. Riley focuses on Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Tuberculosis and Immunology. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, Outbreak and Virulence. His studies in Escherichia coli integrate themes in fields like Molecular biology, Antimicrobial, Polymerase chain reaction and Mycobacterium smegmatis.

His research in Mycobacterium tuberculosis intersects with topics in Genetics, Typing, Macrophage and Mutant. In his research on the topic of Tuberculosis, Surgery is strongly related with Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as Incidence and Public health, which intersect with Immunology.

His most cited work include:

  • Hemorrhagic colitis associated with a rare Escherichia coli serotype (2274 citations)
  • Interferon-γ assays in the immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis: a systematic review (827 citations)
  • Urban epidemic of severe leptospirosis in Brazil (639 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Tuberculosis, Escherichia coli and Virology. His studies examine the connections between Microbiology and genetics, as well as such issues in Multilocus sequence typing, with regards to Molecular epidemiology. His research integrates issues of Operon, Mutant, Immune system, Sputum and Restriction fragment length polymorphism in his study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

His Tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine, Epidemiology, Incidence and Immunology. His Epidemiology study incorporates themes from Outbreak and Public health. His Escherichia coli research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plasmid, Multiple drug resistance, Drug resistance, Urinary system and Antibiotic resistance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (43.43%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (23.06%)
  • Tuberculosis (22.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Microbiology (43.43%)
  • Escherichia coli (18.77%)
  • Antibiotic resistance (6.97%)

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

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Antibiotic resistance, Public health and Internal medicine. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Enterobacteriaceae, Polymerase chain reaction and Bacteria. His Escherichia coli study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmid, Colistin, Whole genome sequencing, Urinary system and Multilocus sequence typing.

His Public health research includes elements of Infectious disease, Epidemiology, Outbreak, Molecular microbiology and Socioeconomics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carriage, Tuberculosis and Ceftriaxone. His Tuberculosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Differential diagnosis, Socioeconomic status and Immune system.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Slum Health: Arresting COVID-19 and Improving Well-Being in Urban Informal Settlements. (134 citations)
  • A Population-Based Surveillance Study of Shared Genotypes of Escherichia coli Isolates from Retail Meat and Suspected Cases of Urinary Tract Infections. (35 citations)
  • Persistent Pandemic Lineages of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in a College Community from 1999 to 2017 (31 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Lee W. Riley mainly investigates Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Antibiotic resistance, Genotype and Molecular epidemiology. Lee W. Riley is interested in Extraintestinal Pathogenic E. coli, which is a field of Microbiology. The concepts of his Escherichia coli study are interwoven with issues in Plasmid, Multiple drug resistance, Lipid A and Colistin.

The Genotype study combines topics in areas such as Veterinary medicine, Incidence and Drug resistance. His Molecular epidemiology research incorporates themes from Infectious disease, Epidemiology and Outbreak. Lee W. Riley combines subjects such as Tuberculosis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis with his study of Restriction fragment length polymorphism.
