Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Clumping factor A, Virulence and Bacterial adhesin. He has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Protein A, Fibronectin, Fibronectin binding protein A, Fibronectin binding and Mutant. The concepts of his Staphylococcus aureus study are interwoven with issues in Septic arthritis and Immunology.

His Clumping factor A research includes elements of Fibrinogen, Fibrinogen binding, Molecular biology, MSCRAMM and Coagulase. His study on Virulence factor is often connected to RNAIII as part of broader study in Virulence. Timothy J. Foster works mostly in the field of Bacterial adhesin, limiting it down to topics relating to Lactococcus lactis and, in certain cases, Heterologous and Expression vector, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Immune evasion by staphylococci (962 citations)
  • Surface protein adhesins of Staphylococcus aureus (848 citations)
  • Complete genomes of two clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains: Evidence for the rapid evolution of virulence and drug resistance (807 citations)

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

Timothy J. Foster focuses on Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Molecular biology, Clumping factor A and Gene. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plasmid, Fibrinogen, Mutant and Bacterial adhesin, Virulence. The Staphylococcus aureus study combines topics in areas such as Fibronectin, Protein A and Immunology.

His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Peptide sequence and Operon. His studies in Clumping factor A integrate themes in fields like Biochemistry, Fibrinogen binding and MSCRAMM. His study on Gene is covered under Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (46.77%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (37.56%)
  • Molecular biology (17.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Microbiology (46.77%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (37.56%)
  • Food science (7.14%)

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

Timothy J. Foster mainly investigates Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Food science, Biofilm and Cellulose. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Fibronectin, Clumping factor A, Cell wall and Virulence. His Fibronectin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacterial adhesin and Integrin.

His Clumping factor A research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fibrinogen binding and Atopic dermatitis. His Staphylococcus aureus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plasmid, Gene, Escherichia coli, Immunology and Innate immune system. His Biofilm study combines topics in areas such as Adhesion, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Cell biology and MSCRAMM.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Adhesion, invasion and evasion: the many functions of the surface proteins of Staphylococcus aureus. (687 citations)
  • Antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. Current status and future prospects. (201 citations)
  • Staphylococcus aureus and Atopic Dermatitis: A Complex and Evolving Relationship (124 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Biofilm, Cellulose and Adhesion. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Plasmid, Fibronectin, Clumping factor A, MSCRAMM and Virulence. Timothy J. Foster works in the field of Staphylococcus aureus, namely Staphylokinase.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Fibronectin binding protein A and Cell biology in addition to Biofilm. Timothy J. Foster combines subjects such as Salt, Emulsion, Lipid digestion, Calorimetry and Digestion with his study of Cellulose. His work in Adhesion addresses subjects such as Cell, which are connected to disciplines such as Peptide, Molecular model and Bacterial cell structure.
