Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Antibiotics
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Veterinary medicine, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcal infections. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetics, Polymerase chain reaction and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. His studies deal with areas such as Transmission, Erythromycin and Gene transfer as well as Staphylococcus aureus.

The various areas that Wolfgang Witte examines in his Veterinary medicine study include Feces, High prevalence, Nasal colonization, Livestock and Livestock associated. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mass screening, Surgery, Infection control and Medical emergency. His Staphylococcal infections research incorporates themes from Multilocus sequence typing and Meticillin.

His most cited work include:

  • Medical Consequences of Antibiotic Use in Agriculture (769 citations)
  • Tackling antibiotic resistance (650 citations)
  • Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): Burden of disease and control challenges in Europe (402 citations)

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

Wolfgang Witte spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Typing and Genetics. His Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Plasmid and Gene. His Staphylococcus aureus study incorporates themes from Colonization and Virology.

His work carried out in the field of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus brings together such families of science as Staphylococcal infections, Molecular typing, Intensive care medicine and Veterinary medicine. The concepts of his Typing study are interwoven with issues in Polymerase chain reaction, Molecular epidemiology, Multilocus sequence typing and Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. His Enterococcus faecium study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Enterococcus, Avoparcin, Streptogramins, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptogramin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (63.90%)
  • Staphylococcus aureus (31.22%)
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (20.98%)

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

  • Staphylococcus aureus (31.22%)
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (20.98%)
  • Microbiology (63.90%)

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

Wolfgang Witte spends much of his time researching Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Microbiology, Veterinary medicine and Staphylococcal infections. His work on Nasal carriage as part of general Staphylococcus aureus study is frequently linked to Carriage, bridging the gap between disciplines. He has researched Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in several fields, including Transmission, Broth microdilution and Typing.

His study in Microbiology focuses on Antibiotic resistance in particular. His Veterinary medicine study also includes fields such as

  • Livestock associated, which have a strong connection to Carrier state,
  • Host specificity which is related to area like Postoperative wound infections. The study incorporates disciplines such as Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus and Staphylococcus auricularis, Staphylococcus kloosii, Staphylococcus cohnii, Staphylococcus in addition to Staphylococcal infections.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Livestock-Associated MRSA: The Impact on Humans (126 citations)
  • Livestock associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) and its relevance for humans in Germany. (79 citations)
  • Insufficient discriminatory power of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for typing of Enterococcus faecium and Staphylococcus aureus isolates. (76 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Antibiotics
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Veterinary medicine, Microbiology and Staphylococcal infections. His Staphylococcus aureus research incorporates elements of Livestock, Nosocomial pathogens, Enterococcus faecium and Colonization. Wolfgang Witte focuses mostly in the field of Veterinary medicine, narrowing it down to matters related to Antibiotic resistance and, in some cases, Genotyping, Study of Health in Pomerania and Drug resistance.

He combines subjects such as Immune system, Nasal colonization, Gene cluster, Host and Epidemiological surveillance with his study of Microbiology. Wolfgang Witte has included themes like Intensive care, Intensive care medicine, Transmission, Adaptation and Food microbiology in his Staphylococcal infections study. His Transmission research includes themes of Epidemiology, Infection control, MEDLINE, Case-control study and Pediatrics.
