Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Antibiotics
  • Bacteria

Pak-Leung Ho mostly deals with Microbiology, Antibacterial agent, Internal medicine, Antibiotics and Pneumonia. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. His study in Antibacterial agent is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Multiple drug resistance, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Genetic transfer, Vancomycin and Shigella flexneri.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gastroenterology and Sputum. His Antibiotics research focuses on subjects like Antimicrobial, which are linked to In vitro. The concepts of his Pneumonia study are interwoven with issues in Infection control, ARDS, Outbreak, Viral load and Contact tracing.

His most cited work include:

  • Presenting Vancomycin on Nanoparticles to Enhance Antimicrobial Activities (473 citations)
  • How far droplets can move in indoor environments--revisiting the Wells evaporation-falling curve. (460 citations)
  • Using biofunctional magnetic nanoparticles to capture vancomycin-resistant enterococci and other gram-positive bacteria at ultralow concentration. (456 citations)

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

Microbiology, Internal medicine, Intensive care medicine, Virology and Antibiotic resistance are his primary areas of study. Pak-Leung Ho interconnects Plasmid, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular epidemiology and Enterobacteriaceae in addition to Plasmid.

His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Gastroenterology, Sputum and Surgery. His Antibiotic resistance research is classified as research in Antibiotics. His Infection control research incorporates elements of Incidence, Outbreak, Emergency medicine, Transmission and Hygiene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (45.48%)
  • Internal medicine (17.40%)
  • Intensive care medicine (11.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Microbiology (45.48%)
  • Serotype (4.41%)
  • Internal medicine (17.40%)

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

His main research concerns Microbiology, Serotype, Internal medicine, Plasmid and Enterobacteriaceae. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacteria and Escherichia coli. His Serotype study also includes

  • Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine which connect with Genotype and Disease,
  • Carriage that intertwine with fields like Streptococcus pneumoniae,
  • Incidence which connect with Epidemiology, Emergency medicine and Vaccination,
  • Clade which connect with Coalescent theory.

His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Gastroenterology, Viral load and Pathology. He works mostly in the field of Enterobacteriaceae, limiting it down to topics relating to Meropenem and, in certain cases, In vitro and Beta-Lactamase Inhibitors, as a part of the same area of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Multiple drug resistance and Staphylococcus aureus.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The role of community-wide wearing of face mask for control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic due to SARS-CoV-2. (243 citations)
  • Escalating infection control response to the rapidly evolving epidemiology of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to SARS-CoV-2 in Hong Kong. (211 citations)
  • Outbreak of a new coronavirus: what anaesthetists should know. (177 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Antibiotics
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Enterobacteriaceae, Infection control, Pneumonia and Plasmid. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular analysis and Escherichia coli as well as Microbiology. The Enterobacteriaceae study combines topics in areas such as Colistin and Acinetobacter.

His Infection control study combines topics in areas such as Respiratory system and Emergency medicine. Pak-Leung Ho has included themes like Viral load, Coronavirus and Intensive care medicine in his Pneumonia study. Pak-Leung Ho works mostly in the field of Plasmid, limiting it down to concerns involving Molecular epidemiology and, occasionally, Replicon, Nitrofurantoin and Efflux.
