Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Secretion, Microbiology, Virulence, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium are his primary areas of study. Secretion is a subfield of Biochemistry that Wilbert Bitter tackles. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Mycobacterium marinum, Mutant, Embryo and Bacteria.

His work carried out in the field of Mycobacterium tuberculosis brings together such families of science as Lead compound, Phagosome and Combination therapy. In his study, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Gene family is strongly linked to Signal peptide, which falls under the umbrella field of Mycobacterium. As part of the same scientific family, Wilbert Bitter usually focuses on Cell biology, concentrating on Membrane protein and intersecting with Transcription factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Type VII secretion — mycobacteria show the way (525 citations)
  • Expression analysis of the Toll-like receptor and TIR domain adaptor families of zebrafish. (404 citations)
  • Phagosomal rupture by Mycobacterium tuberculosis results in toxicity and host cell death. (360 citations)

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

Wilbert Bitter mainly focuses on Microbiology, Secretion, Biochemistry, Virulence and Mycobacterium marinum. His work focuses on many connections between Microbiology and other disciplines, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, that overlap with his field of interest in Antigen and Enzyme. His Secretion research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transport protein, Cell biology, Cell envelope and Mycobacterium.

His Cell biology research includes themes of Regulation of gene expression and Protease. His Virulence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mycobacterium bovis, Pathogen, Phenotype, Chaperone and Cytosol. His Mycobacterium marinum course of study focuses on Zebrafish and Innate immune system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (47.98%)
  • Secretion (48.99%)
  • Biochemistry (32.83%)

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

  • Secretion (48.99%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (32.83%)
  • Microbiology (47.98%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Secretion, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Virulence and Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transport protein, Pathogen, Protease and Mutant in addition to Secretion. Wilbert Bitter studies Mycobacterium marinum, a branch of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Wilbert Bitter interconnects Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium, Phenotype, Genetic variation and In vivo in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. As a part of the same scientific study, Wilbert Bitter usually deals with the Virulence, concentrating on Immune system and frequently concerns with Heterologous, Heterologous vaccine, Wild type and Bacterial outer membrane. Wilbert Bitter has included themes like Epithelium, Adhesion protein and Salmonella in his Cell biology study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mutations in ppe38 block PE_PGRS secretion and increase virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (63 citations)
  • Mutations in ppe38 block PE_PGRS secretion and increase virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (63 citations)
  • The novel antibiotic rhodomyrtone traps membrane proteins in vesicles with increased fluidity. (30 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Secretion, Virulence, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology and Mycobacterium marinum. His Virulence research incorporates themes from Secretory protein and Immune system. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Ferredoxin, Cytochrome P450, NAD+ kinase and Enzyme.

The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Tuberculosis and Isoniazid. His study in Tuberculosis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zebrafish and Antigen. His study focuses on the intersection of Mycobacterium marinum and fields such as Pathogen with connections in the field of Mutant and Protease.
