Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Streptococcus pyogenes, Molecular biology, Gene and Streptococcus mutans. His research integrates issues of Bacterial adhesin, Pilus, Virulence, Antibody and Fibronectin binding in his study of Microbiology. His Streptococcus pyogenes study incorporates themes from Pathogen, Phagocytosis, Virology, Blot and Western blot.

His Hemagglutinin, Influenza A virus and Superinfection study, which is part of a larger body of work in Virology, is frequently linked to Fasciitis, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Interleukin 2, Receptor, Receptor expression, Cytokine receptor and Interleukin. His Streptococcus mutans research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glucosyltransferase and Genome.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome Sequence of an M3 Strain of Streptococcus pyogenes Reveals a Large-Scale Genomic Rearrangement in Invasive Strains and New Insights into Phage Evolution (248 citations)
  • Fba, a novel fibronectin-binding protein from Streptococcus pyogenes, promotes bacterial entry into epithelial cells, and the fba gene is positively transcribed under the Mga regulator. (163 citations)
  • Inhibitory effect of oolong tea polyphenols on glycosyltransferases of mutans Streptococci. (132 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, Streptococcus pyogenes, Molecular biology, Virulence and Streptococcus mutans. He has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Streptococcus, Gene, Mutant and Virology. His Streptococcus pyogenes research includes themes of Recombinant DNA, Antibody, Immunization, Bacterial adhesin and Fibronectin binding.

His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Apoptosis, Biochemistry, Open reading frame, Peptide sequence and Intraepithelial lymphocyte. Many of his research projects under Virulence are closely connected to Fasciitis with Fasciitis, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glucosyltransferase, Glucosyltransferases, In vitro and Cell culture in addition to Streptococcus mutans.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (70.69%)
  • Streptococcus pyogenes (44.83%)
  • Molecular biology (20.69%)

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

  • Microbiology (70.69%)
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae (13.79%)
  • Streptococcus pyogenes (44.83%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Virulence and Gene. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Pathogenesis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Prevotella intermedia and Proinflammatory cytokine. His Streptococcus pneumoniae research incorporates elements of Pathogen, Sepsis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Serotype and Respiratory infection.

In his works, Shigetada Kawabata undertakes multidisciplinary study on Streptococcus pyogenes and Hinokitiol. His work in the fields of Pilus, Clade and Single-nucleotide polymorphism overlaps with other areas such as Disease severity. He works mostly in the field of Virulence factor, limiting it down to topics relating to Negative selection and, in certain cases, Evolutionary pressure, Pneumococcal pneumonia, Streptococcus and Bacteria.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Neutrophil Elastase Subverts the Immune Response by Cleaving Toll-Like Receptors and Cytokines in Pneumococcal Pneumonia. (26 citations)
  • Composition of salivary microbiota in elderly subjects. (23 citations)
  • Identification of evolutionarily conserved virulence factor by selective pressure analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae. (12 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Shigetada Kawabata spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Virulence factor and Virulence. His study deals with a combination of Microbiology and Fasciitis. The concepts of his Streptococcus pneumoniae study are interwoven with issues in Fusobacterium nucleatum, Pathogen, Antibacterial agent and Sepsis.

Shigetada Kawabata has included themes like Proteases, Transcriptome, Downregulation and upregulation, Gene and Streptococcus sobrinus in his Streptococcus pyogenes study. His study focuses on the intersection of Virulence factor and fields such as Bacterial genome size with connections in the field of Pneumococcal pneumonia. His studies deal with areas such as Extracellular, Mutant and Cysteine protease as well as Pathogenesis.
