Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Genetics

Virginia L. Miller mostly deals with Virulence, Microbiology, Gene, Genetics and Yersinia enterocolitica. Her study in Virulence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Klebsiella pneumoniae and Virology. The various areas that Virginia L. Miller examines in her Microbiology study include Immunology, Pathogenesis, Enterobacteriaceae and Mutant.

As part of the same scientific family, Virginia L. Miller usually focuses on Gene, concentrating on Molecular biology and intersecting with Vibrio cholerae, Cholera toxin, Operon and Nucleic acid sequence. Her Vibrio cholerae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell biology and Transmembrane protein. She combines subjects such as Yersinia Infections, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Escherichia coli, Molecular cloning and Gene product with her study of Yersinia enterocolitica.

Her most cited work include:

  • A novel suicide vector and its use in construction of insertion mutations: osmoregulation of outer membrane proteins and virulence determinants in Vibrio cholerae requires toxR. (1897 citations)
  • Use of phoA gene fusions to identify a pilus colonization factor coordinately regulated with cholera toxin (834 citations)
  • Herpesvirus latency confers symbiotic protection from bacterial infection (515 citations)

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

Virginia L. Miller spends much of her time researching Microbiology, Yersinia enterocolitica, Virulence, Gene and Genetics. Her Microbiology research includes themes of Plasmid, Mutant, Bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and Yersinia pestis. Her studies deal with areas such as Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Escherichia coli, Regulon, Molecular biology and Yersiniosis as well as Yersinia enterocolitica.

She interconnects Cholera toxin and Vibrio cholerae in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pathogenesis and Virology in addition to Virulence. Virginia L. Miller has researched Gene in several fields, including Yersinia and Cell biology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (69.74%)
  • Yersinia enterocolitica (51.32%)
  • Virulence (48.03%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Microbiology (69.74%)
  • Virulence (48.03%)
  • Gene (38.82%)

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

Her main research concerns Microbiology, Virulence, Gene, Mutant and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Her Microbiology study incorporates themes from Klebsiella, Yersinia pestis, Yersinia enterocolitica and Virology. Virginia L. Miller has included themes like Immune system, Immunology, Pathogenesis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Bubonic plague in her Yersinia pestis study.

Her Yersinia enterocolitica research focuses on Secretion and how it connects with Drosophila and Melanogaster. Her work focuses on many connections between Klebsiella pneumoniae and other disciplines, such as Antibiotics, that overlap with her field of interest in Multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, Genome, Isolation, Pneumonia and Fimbria. In her study, Transcription and Regulator gene is inextricably linked to Cell biology, which falls within the broad field of Gene expression.

Between 2012 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Klebsiella: a long way to go towards understanding this enigmatic jet-setter. (79 citations)
  • Dissemination of a highly virulent pathogen: tracking the early events that define infection. (37 citations)
  • A Klebsiella pneumoniae Regulatory Mutant Has Reduced Capsule Expression but Retains Hypermucoviscosity. (32 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Genetics

Microbiology, Virulence, Pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Yersinia pestis are her primary areas of study. In Microbiology, she works on issues like Mutant, which are connected to Sequence. Her Virulence research is classified as research in Gene.

Her work carried out in the field of Pathogen brings together such families of science as Bacterial population and Immune system. Her research in Yersinia pestis tackles topics such as Immunology which are related to areas like Pneumonic plague, Bacterial genetics and Mediator. Her research in Yersinia enterocolitica intersects with topics in Drosophila melanogaster, Plasmid, Autotransporters and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.
