Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Enterococcus faecium, Genetics, Multilocus sequence typing and Molecular epidemiology. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Vancomycin and Virulence. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Complementation and Bacteria.

His Enterococcus faecium study combines topics in areas such as Outbreak, Enterococcus faecalis, Pathogenicity island, Genotype and Amp resistance. As part of the same scientific family, Rob J. L. Willems usually focuses on Multilocus sequence typing, concentrating on Ampicillin and intersecting with Virology, Prevalence and Drug resistance. His research investigates the connection between Molecular epidemiology and topics such as Single-nucleotide polymorphism that intersect with issues in Pan-genome and Whole genome sequencing.

His most cited work include:

  • Multilocus Sequence Typing System for Campylobacter jejuni (701 citations)
  • Global Spread of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium from Distinct Nosocomial Genetic Complex (446 citations)
  • Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecium (429 citations)

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

Rob J. L. Willems focuses on Microbiology, Enterococcus faecium, Genetics, Gene and Multilocus sequence typing. His Microbiology research includes themes of Bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis and Virulence. His Enterococcus faecium study incorporates themes from Biofilm, Ampicillin, Amp resistance, Outbreak and Vancomycin.

His Ampicillin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Internal medicine and Antibiotic resistance. His Multilocus sequence typing research incorporates elements of Molecular epidemiology, Drug resistance, Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Virology. His study in Typing is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sequence analysis and Amplified fragment length polymorphism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (66.06%)
  • Enterococcus faecium (47.51%)
  • Genetics (26.24%)

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

  • Microbiology (66.06%)
  • Enterococcus faecium (47.51%)
  • Plasmid (8.14%)

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

Rob J. L. Willems mostly deals with Microbiology, Enterococcus faecium, Plasmid, Genetics and Gene. Rob J. L. Willems has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Escherichia coli and Bacteria. His research integrates issues of Outbreak, Vancomycin, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, Commensalism and Transposable element in his study of Enterococcus faecium.

His research integrates issues of Sequence analysis and Horizontal gene transfer in his study of Plasmid. In his research on the topic of Gene, Infective endocarditis, Endocarditis, Permease and PEP group translocation is strongly related with Biofilm. His Multilocus sequence typing study incorporates themes from Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Virology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Emergence and Dissemination of Enterococci as Nosocomial Pathogens : Attack of the Clones? (146 citations)
  • Whole genome sequencing options for bacterial strain typing and epidemiologic analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphism versus gene-by-gene–based approaches (144 citations)
  • Mutational signature in colorectal cancer caused by genotoxic pks+ E. coli. (139 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Rob J. L. Willems mainly focuses on Enterococcus faecium, Microbiology, Plasmid, Genetics and Genome. His Enterococcus faecium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ampicillin, Antibiotic resistance and Virulence. Rob J. L. Willems interconnects Infective endocarditis and Enterococcus faecalis in the investigation of issues within Microbiology.

As a member of one scientific family, Rob J. L. Willems mostly works in the field of Enterococcus faecalis, focusing on Plasmid-mediated resistance and, on occasion, Molecular epidemiology. Rob J. L. Willems works on Genetics which deals in particular with Multilocus sequence typing. His Genome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Computational biology and Sequence assembly.
