In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Martin Altwegg focuses on Microbiology, Molecular biology, Polymerase chain reaction, Genetics and Virology.
He studies Microbiology, namely Streptococcus pneumoniae.
His studies deal with areas such as Tropheryma whipplei, Whipple's disease, Gene and Primer as well as Molecular biology.
His Polymerase chain reaction study combines topics in areas such as genomic DNA and Chlamydiales.
Cloning, Heat shock protein, Immunology, Genotyping and Genotype is closely connected to Tropheryma in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Genetics.
His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mycoplasmataceae, Chlamydiaceae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Serology.
Between 2002 and 2014, his most popular works were:
- 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing versus the API 20 NE System and the VITEK 2 ID-GNB Card for Identification of Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacteria in the Clinical Laboratory (191 citations)
- Ribosomal DNA Sequencing for Identification of Aerobic Gram-Positive Rods in the Clinical Laboratory (an 18-Month Evaluation) (163 citations)
- Development of a multiplex real-time quantitative PCR assay to detect Chlamydia pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila and Mycoplasma pneumoniae in respiratory tract secretions (158 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Bacteria
- Antibiotics
- Gene
His main research concerns Microbiology, Ribosomal DNA, 16S ribosomal RNA, Genetics and Sequence analysis.
Specifically, his work in Microbiology is concerned with the study of Mycoplasmataceae.
His Ribosomal DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gram-negative bacteria, Identification and Gram-positive bacteria.
His studies in Identification integrate themes in fields like Bacilli, 16s rrna gene sequencing, Nucleic acid sequence and Ribosomal RNA.
His work on Agar, Phylogenetics, Candida albicans and Yeast as part of general Genetics research is often related to Candida rugosa, thus linking different fields of science.
His Sequence analysis research includes themes of Phenotype and Internal transcribed spacer.
