Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Quorum sensing, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Homoserine are his primary areas of study. Autoinducer is the focus of his Quorum sensing research. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bacteria, Biofilm, Mutant, Cell biology and Virulence.

The concepts of his Biochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Stereochemistry and Pseudomonas. His research integrates issues of Repressor, Bacterial adhesin, Pyocyanin and rpoS in his study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Homoserine study combines topics in areas such as Erwinia, Plasmid, Chromobacterium and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

His most cited work include:

  • Quorum sensing and Chromobacterium violaceum: exploitation of violacein production and inhibition for the detection of N-acylhomoserine lactones (1329 citations)
  • Look who's talking: communication and quorum sensing in the bacterial world (610 citations)
  • A hierarchical quorum-sensing cascade in Pseudomonas aeruginosa links the transcriptional activators LasR and RhIR (VsmR) to expression of the stationary-phase sigma factor RpoS (600 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Quorum sensing, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Biochemistry and Virulence. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Biofilm and Mutant, Gene. His Mutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular biology and Regulation of gene expression.

His Quorum sensing research incorporates themes from Cell signaling, Operon and Cell biology. In his study, Gastroenterology is inextricably linked to Cystic fibrosis, which falls within the broad field of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. His Virulence research integrates issues from Pathogen and Computational biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (47.87%)
  • Quorum sensing (41.83%)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25.50%)

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

  • Microbiology (47.87%)
  • Biofilm (15.21%)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25.50%)

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

Paul Williams spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Biofilm, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Quorum sensing and Virulence. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacteria and Escherichia coli. Paul Williams interconnects Antibiotics, In vitro, Biochemistry, Polysaccharide and Antibiotic resistance in the investigation of issues within Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

His biological study focuses on Pyocyanin. His Virulence research incorporates elements of Pathogenicity, Phenotype, Mutant, Transcriptional regulation and Quinazolinone. His Mutant research includes elements of Secretion and Plasmid.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Identification of FDA-Approved Drugs as Antivirulence Agents Targeting the pqs Quorum-Sensing System of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37 citations)
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum Sensing Systems as Drug Discovery Targets: Current Position and Future Perspectives (33 citations)
  • Differential Regulation of the Phenazine Biosynthetic Operons by Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1-N. (26 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Paul Williams mostly deals with Quorum sensing, Biofilm, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Microbiology and Virulence. In the field of Quorum sensing, his study on Swarming motility overlaps with subjects such as Context. His Biofilm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Flagellum, Biophysics, Wild type, Directionality and Differential interference contrast microscopy.

Paul Williams has researched Pseudomonas aeruginosa in several fields, including Pyocyanin, Antibiotic resistance, Phenazine and In silico. His work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Ex vivo, In vitro and Escherichia coli. Paul Williams usually deals with Virulence and limits it to topics linked to Mutant and Serial passage, Plasmid maintenance, Homoserine, Yersinia enterocolitica and Plasmid.
