Petter Brandtzaeg

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Immune system
• Internal medicine
• Antibody

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Meningococcal disease, Pathology, Antibody and Meningitis. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Macrophage, Molecular biology and Intestinal mucosa. The subject of his Meningococcal disease research is within the realm of Neisseria meningitidis.

The concepts of his Neisseria meningitidis study are interwoven with issues in Transmission and Carriage. His studies deal with areas such as Bacteremia, Interleukin 6, Cerebrospinal fluid and Virology as well as Meningitis. While the research belongs to areas of Septic shock, Petter Brandtzaeg spends his time largely on the problem of Shock, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Andrology.

His most cited work include:

• Epidemic meningitis, meningococcaemia, and Neisseria meningitidis. (709 citations)
• Plasma Endotoxin as a Predictor of Multiple Organ Failure and Death in Systemic Meningococcal Disease (500 citations)
• Update on Meningococcal Disease with Emphasis on Pathogenesis and Clinical Management (488 citations)

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

His main research concerns Immunology, Neisseria meningitidis, Microbiology, Septic shock and Meningococcal disease. His research on Immunology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Intestinal mucosa. His research integrates issues of Meningitis, Whole blood, Complement system, Wild type and Fulminant in his study of Neisseria meningitidis.

His study on Microbiology also encompasses disciplines like

• Lipopolysaccharide together with Macrophage inflammatory protein,
• Molecular biology most often made with reference to Monocyte. His work in Septic shock covers topics such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha which are related to areas like Interleukin. In his study, Antibiotics is inextricably linked to Internal medicine, which falls within the broad field of Meningococcal disease.

He most often published in these fields:

• Immunology (57.96%)
• Neisseria meningitidis (41.40%)
• Microbiology (39.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

• Neisseria meningitidis (41.40%)
• Septic shock (25.48%)
• Immunology (57.96%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neisseria meningitidis, Septic shock, Immunology, Microbiology and Whole blood. Petter Brandtzaeg has included themes like Lipopolysaccharide, Internal medicine, Case fatality rate and Complement system in his Neisseria meningitidis study. Petter Brandtzaeg combines subjects such as Meningitis, Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Spleen, Meningococcal disease and Fulminant with his study of Septic shock.

Petter Brandtzaeg interconnects Limulus amebocyte lysate, Invasive disease, Pathogenesis, Severe sepsis and Disseminated intravascular coagulation in the investigation of issues within Meningococcal disease. Immunology and Gene expression are frequently intertwined in his study. His Whole blood research includes elements of Wild type, Mutant, Meningococcal sepsis and Tissue factor.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Microparticle-associated tissue factor activity correlates with plasma levels of bacterial lipopolysaccharides in meningococcal septic shock (33 citations)
• Microparticle-associated tissue factor activity correlates with plasma levels of bacterial lipopolysaccharides in meningococcal septic shock (33 citations)
• Microparticle-associated tissue factor activity is reduced by inhibition of the complement protein 5 in Neisseria meningitidis-exposed whole blood. (18 citations)

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

• Immune system
• Internal medicine
• Antibody

Petter Brandtzaeg focuses on Tissue factor, Immunology, Neisseria meningitidis, Whole blood and Septic shock. His Tissue factor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gene expression profiling, Receptor, Signal transduction, Regulation of gene expression and Interleukin 10. His research in Immunology is mostly focused on Cytokine.

Neisseria meningitidis is closely attributed to Lipopolysaccharide in his study. His research in Lipopolysaccharide intersects with topics in Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Inflammation, Shock, Fulminant and Sudden infant death syndrome. His Whole blood study incorporates themes from Meningitis, Limulus amebocyte lysate, Meningococcal disease, Disseminated intravascular coagulation and Thrombin.
