Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Scott J. Hultgren mainly focuses on Microbiology, Escherichia coli, Pilus, Bacterial adhesin and Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Bacteria, Biofilm, Extracellular, Immunology and Urinary system as well as Microbiology. The various areas that Scott J. Hultgren examines in his Escherichia coli study include Biogenesis, Intracellular, Intracellular parasite and Virulence.

His Pilus research includes elements of Epithelium, Fimbria and Chaperone, Organelle, Cell biology. His work carried out in the field of Chaperone brings together such families of science as Pilus assembly, Periplasmic space and Bacterial outer membrane. His Bacterial adhesin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hemagglutination, Bacterial cell structure, Cell adhesion, Matrix metalloproteinase and Mannose.

His most cited work include:

  • Urinary tract infections: epidemiology, mechanisms of infection and treatment options (1073 citations)
  • Regulation of Intestinal α-Defensin Activation by the Metalloproteinase Matrilysin in Innate Host Defense (955 citations)
  • Role of Escherichia coli Curli Operons in Directing Amyloid Fiber Formation (901 citations)

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

Scott J. Hultgren focuses on Microbiology, Pilus, Escherichia coli, Bacterial adhesin and Chaperone. Scott J. Hultgren combines subjects such as Bacteria, Biofilm, Fimbria, Virulence and Urinary system with his study of Microbiology. Scott J. Hultgren has included themes like Urinary bladder and Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance in his Urinary system study.

His Pilus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Periplasmic space, Protein subunit and Cell biology. His Escherichia coli course of study focuses on Immunology and Chronic Cystitis. His Chaperone research focuses on subjects like Bacterial outer membrane, which are linked to Secretion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (47.57%)
  • Pilus (45.63%)
  • Escherichia coli (38.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Microbiology (47.57%)
  • Pilus (45.63%)
  • Bacterial adhesin (25.00%)

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

Scott J. Hultgren spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Pilus, Bacterial adhesin, Escherichia coli and Urinary system. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Bacteria, Biofilm, Fimbria, Virulence and Immunity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gut flora, Mutant, Chaperone, Cell biology and Mannose.

In his work, Biochemistry is strongly intertwined with Biophysics, which is a subfield of Chaperone. His Escherichia coli research integrates issues from Receptor, Structure–activity relationship and Immune system. His Urinary system research incorporates elements of Diabetes mellitus, Antibiotics and Immunology.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Urinary tract infections: epidemiology, mechanisms of infection and treatment options (1073 citations)
  • Selective depletion of uropathogenic E. coli from the gut by a FimH antagonist (109 citations)
  • Bacterial Amyloid Formation: Structural Insights into Curli Biogensis (87 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Immunology, Pilus, Escherichia coli and Bacterial adhesin. Scott J. Hultgren interconnects Bacteria, Immunity and Virulence in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. His research integrates issues of Urinary system, Urothelium and Antibiotics in his study of Immunology.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Pilus, Fimbria, Bacterial genetics and Microbiome is strongly linked to Gut flora. His Escherichia coli study is concerned with the larger field of Gene. The Bacterial adhesin study combines topics in areas such as Epithelium, Operon, Transduction and Glycoprotein.
