Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Michael Otto mainly focuses on Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Virulence, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Biofilm. His Microbiology research includes themes of Staphylococcal infections, Quorum sensing, Immunology and Bacteria. His Staphylococcus aureus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Innate immune system and Pathogenesis.

His Virulence study incorporates themes from Antibiotics, Panton–Valentine leukocidin, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Disease and Human pathogen. His Dispersin B study in the realm of Staphylococcus epidermidis connects with subjects such as Silver nanoparticle. His studies deal with areas such as Micrococcaceae, Staphylococcus and In vivo as well as Biofilm.

His most cited work include:

  • Community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (1152 citations)
  • Staphylococcus epidermidis — the 'accidental' pathogen (951 citations)
  • Inactivation of the dlt operon in Staphylococcus aureus confers sensitivity to defensins, protegrins, and other antimicrobial peptides. (786 citations)

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

Michael Otto mainly investigates Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Virulence, Biofilm and Pathogen. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quorum sensing, Innate immune system, Immune system and Staphylococcus epidermidis. His Staphylococcus aureus research is classified as research in Bacteria.

His Virulence research includes themes of Inflammation, Immunology, Superantigen and Staphylococcus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Virulence factor, Antibiotics, DNA and In vivo. He has included themes like Phagosome, Pharmacology and Leukocidin in his Pathogen study.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Different drugs for bad bugs: antivirulence strategies in the age of antibiotic resistance (288 citations)
  • Pathogen elimination by probiotic Bacillus via signalling interference (142 citations)
  • Staphylococcus aureus Virulent PSMα Peptides Induce Keratinocyte Alarmin Release to Orchestrate IL-17-Dependent Skin Inflammation (92 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Biofilm, Virulence and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The various areas that Michael Otto examines in his Microbiology study include Immune system, Infiltration, Immunology and Effector. His studies in Staphylococcus aureus integrate themes in fields like Probiotic, Pathogen and Amyloid.

His research in Biofilm focuses on subjects like Colonization, which are connected to Bacteremia, Disease and Intensive care medicine. His study in Virulence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Acquired immune system, Superantigen, Food poisoning and Toxic shock syndrome. His Staphylococcus epidermidis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microbiome, Innate immune system and DNA polymerase.
