Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Motoyuki Sugai focuses on Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Molecular biology, Biochemistry and Autolysin. He is involved in the study of Microbiology that focuses on Antibacterial agent in particular. His research investigates the connection between Antibacterial agent and topics such as Antimicrobial peptides that intersect with problems in Defensin.

In general Staphylococcus aureus study, his work on Bullous impetigo, Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and Vancomycin often relates to the realm of Desmoglein 3, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as GTP-binding protein regulators, Janus kinase 2, Toxin and Open reading frame, Peptide sequence. His Autolysin research integrates issues from Neutrophil extracellular traps, Extracellular, N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase, Gene product and Leukocidin.

His most cited work include:

  • A Novel Mechanism of Rapid Nuclear Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in Response to Staphylococcus aureus (598 citations)
  • Susceptibilities of periodontopathogenic and cariogenic bacteria to antibacterial peptides, β-defensins and LL37, produced by human epithelial cells (340 citations)
  • A Staphylococcus aureus autolysin that has an N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase domain and an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase domain : cloning, sequence analysis, and characterization (265 citations)

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

Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Molecular biology, Biochemistry and Gene are his primary areas of study. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Mutant and Bacteria. The Staphylococcus aureus study which covers Immunology that intersects with Defensin.

As a part of the same scientific study, Motoyuki Sugai usually deals with the Molecular biology, concentrating on Cytolethal distending toxin and frequently concerns with Cell cycle, Apoptosis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. His study looks at the intersection of Biochemistry and topics like Lysostaphin with Endopeptidase. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Antimicrobial under Antibacterial agent, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (65.57%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (43.17%)
  • Molecular biology (20.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Microbiology (65.57%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (43.17%)
  • Gene (13.11%)

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

Motoyuki Sugai spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Gene, Atopic dermatitis and Molecular biology. His work often combines Microbiology and Mechanism studies. Motoyuki Sugai interconnects Biofilm, Immunology, Neutrophil extracellular traps and Staphylococcal Food Poisoning in the investigation of issues within Staphylococcus aureus.

In his study, DNA replication, Complementation and Toxin-antitoxin system is inextricably linked to Cell biology, which falls within the broad field of Gene. His study in Atopic dermatitis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cell and Lysosome. Motoyuki Sugai has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Toxin, Filaggrin, Transformation and Biomedical engineering.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Identification and Characterization of a Novel Staphylococcal Emetic Toxin (57 citations)
  • Effects of the Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis Secretomes Isolated from the Skin Microbiota of Atopic Children on CD4+ T Cell Activation. (50 citations)
  • Significant increase of oral bacteria in the early pregnancy period in Japanese women. (32 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Microbiology, Gene, Genetics, Staphylococcus aureus and Immunology. Motoyuki Sugai studies Microbiology, namely Imipenem. In his research, Virology is intimately related to DNA sequencing, which falls under the overarching field of Imipenem.

His Staphylococcus aureus research focuses on subjects like Immune system, which are linked to Cytokine. His studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Pregnancy, Early pregnancy factor, Gestation. His work deals with themes such as Nucleic acid sequence and Multiple drug resistance, which intersect with Enterobacteriaceae.
