Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • DNA

Her primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Bacillus anthracis, Virology, Virulence and Plague vaccine. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adjuvant, Plasmid and Immunity. Her studies in Bacillus anthracis integrate themes in fields like Macrophage, Bacillus subtilis and Spore.

Her study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anthrax vaccines and Immunogen. Her research in Virulence tackles topics such as Ames strain which are related to areas like Bacterial vaccine and Mutagenesis. Her study looks at the relationship between Plague vaccine and fields such as Pneumonic plague, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Her most cited work include:

  • Postexposure Prophylaxis against Experimental Inhalation Anthrax (350 citations)
  • Differences in susceptibility of inbred mice to Bacillus anthracis. (270 citations)
  • Protection against experimental bubonic and pneumonic plague by a recombinant capsular F1-V antigen fusion protein vaccine (251 citations)

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

Susan L. Welkos focuses on Microbiology, Bacillus anthracis, Virology, Virulence and Yersinia pestis. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Burkholderia pseudomallei, Bacteria and Antigen. Her biological study deals with issues like Spore germination, which deal with fields such as Polyclonal antibodies.

In her work, Antitoxin is strongly intertwined with Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, which is a subfield of Virology. Her research in Virulence intersects with topics in Plasmid, Mutant, Bacillaceae and Pathogenesis. Her work deals with themes such as Bubonic plague and Enterobacteriaceae, Yersiniosis, which intersect with Yersinia pestis.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (79.31%)
  • Bacillus anthracis (50.00%)
  • Virology (34.48%)

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

  • Microbiology (79.31%)
  • Burkholderia pseudomallei (13.79%)
  • Melioidosis (12.07%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Melioidosis, Virulence and Glanders. Her Microbiology study incorporates themes from Epitope, Select agent and Bacillus anthracis. Susan L. Welkos works on Bacillus anthracis which deals in particular with Anthrax vaccines.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phenotype and Gene. Her study on Melioidosis also encompasses disciplines like

  • Immune system that intertwine with fields like Spleen, Pathogenesis and Antibody titer,
  • Pathogen and related Intracellular parasite, Vaccination, Virology and Antigen,
  • Immunology, which have a strong connection to Antibiotic resistance,
  • Chronic infection and related Bacterial pathogenesis and Acute infection. Susan L. Welkos interconnects Bubonic plague and Burkholderia in the investigation of issues within Virulence.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Characterization of pathogenesis of and immune response to Burkholderia pseudomallei K96243 using both inhalational and intraperitoneal infection models in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice (14 citations)
  • A Standard Method To Inactivate Bacillus anthracis Spores to Sterility via Gamma Irradiation. (11 citations)
  • Incorporating germination‐induction into decontamination strategies for bacterial spores (11 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • DNA

Her main research concerns Microbiology, Melioidosis, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Spore and Bacillus anthracis. She integrates Microbiology with Context in her study. Her work in Spleen covers topics such as Immune system which are related to areas like Antibiotics.

The Colony-forming unit study combines topics in areas such as Select agent and Sterility. The various areas that Susan L. Welkos examines in her Francisella tularensis study include Tigecycline, Antimicrobial, Glanders and Burkholderia mallei. Much of her study explores Bacteria relationship to Virulence.
