Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Mark E. Berrang mainly focuses on Campylobacter, Broiler, Microbiology, Salmonella and Food science. His Campylobacter research includes elements of Scalding, Feather, Campylobacter jejuni and Incubation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Contamination, Aerobic bacteria, Small intestine and Flock.

His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Virology and Escherichia coli. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Salmonella, concentrating on Hatching and intersecting with Air microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Listeria monocytogenes, Direct plating, Crop sample and Two sample in addition to Food science.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparison of Mucosal Competitive Exclusion and Competitive Exclusion Treatment to Reduce Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. Colonization in Broiler Chickens (125 citations)
  • Salmonella penetration of egg shells and proliferation in broiler hatching eggs--a review. (123 citations)
  • Campylobacter recovery from external and internal organs of commercial broiler carcass prior to scalding (110 citations)

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

Broiler, Campylobacter, Microbiology, Salmonella and Food science are his primary areas of study. His studies examine the connections between Broiler and genetics, as well as such issues in Contamination, with regards to Fecal coliform. His Campylobacter study combines topics in areas such as Scalding, Aerobic bacteria, Campylobacter jejuni and Feather.

His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Food contaminant, Hand sanitizer and Escherichia coli. His work in Salmonella covers topics such as Hatching which are related to areas like Eggshell, Hydrogen peroxide and Toxicology. In his research, Organic acid is intimately related to Listeria monocytogenes, which falls under the overarching field of Food science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Broiler (54.45%)
  • Campylobacter (45.55%)
  • Microbiology (40.31%)

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

  • Salmonella (37.70%)
  • Food science (35.60%)
  • Broiler (54.45%)

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

Mark E. Berrang mainly investigates Salmonella, Food science, Broiler, Campylobacter and Microbiology. His work focuses on many connections between Salmonella and other disciplines, such as Food safety, that overlap with his field of interest in Hand sanitizer and Toxicology. The Food science study combines topics in areas such as Contamination, Tetrathionate, Pre enrichment, Incubation and Agar.

His Broiler research incorporates themes from Microbiome, Zoology, Litter and Feces. His Campylobacter study incorporates themes from Aerobic bacteria, Multilocus sequence typing and Flock. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Bacteria and Genome.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The cecal microbiome of commercial broiler chickens varies significantly by season. (12 citations)
  • Population Analyses Reveal Preenrichment Method and Selective Enrichment Media Affect Salmonella Serovars Detected on Broiler Carcasses. (8 citations)
  • Neutralization of residual antimicrobial processing chemicals in broiler carcass rinse for improved detection of Campylobacter1 (6 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Food science

His scientific interests lie mostly in Salmonella, Campylobacter, Food science, Broiler and Contamination. His work on Pepper expands to the thematically related Salmonella. His research integrates issues of Antibiotic resistance, Incidence, Agar and Quail in his study of Campylobacter.

His work on Food safety as part of general Food science study is frequently linked to Sesame seed, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Mark E. Berrang combines subjects such as Cloaca, Scalding, Serotype, Sponge and Typing with his study of Broiler. The concepts of his Contamination study are interwoven with issues in Salmonella enterica, Feather and Antimicrobial.
