Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • DNA
  • Gene

His main research concerns Microbiology, Antibacterial agent, Mutant, DNA gyrase and Bacteria. As part of his studies on Microbiology, Xilin Zhao often connects relevant areas like Biochemistry. His study in Antibacterial agent is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both In vitro and Programmed cell death.

His Mutant study incorporates themes from Ciprofloxacin, Minimum inhibitory concentration, Drug resistance and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Particularly relevant to Topoisomerase IV is his body of work in DNA gyrase. His Topoisomerase IV research includes elements of Molecular biology, Topoisomerase and Quinolone.

His most cited work include:

  • DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV, and the 4-quinolones. (1159 citations)
  • Quinolone-mediated bacterial death. (354 citations)
  • Restricting the Selection of Antibiotic-Resistant Mutants: A General Strategy Derived from Fluoroquinolone Studies (328 citations)

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

Microbiology, Reactive oxygen species, Antibacterial agent, Antimicrobial and Mutant are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacteria and Escherichia coli in his study of Microbiology. His Reactive oxygen species research incorporates themes from Oxolinic acid, Programmed cell death, Intracellular and Hydroxyl radical.

His Antibacterial agent study combines topics in areas such as Ciprofloxacin, DNA gyrase, Levofloxacin, Chloramphenicol and Drug resistance. His work deals with themes such as Mycobacterium smegmatis, Topoisomerase, Topoisomerase-II Inhibitor and Quinolone, which intersect with DNA gyrase. His studies deal with areas such as Lethality and Antioxidant as well as Antimicrobial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (92.23%)
  • Reactive oxygen species (56.31%)
  • Antibacterial agent (29.13%)

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

  • Microbiology (92.23%)
  • Reactive oxygen species (56.31%)
  • Antimicrobial (37.86%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, Reactive oxygen species, Antimicrobial, Escherichia coli and Bacteria. His research brings together the fields of Staphylococcus aureus and Microbiology. His Reactive oxygen species research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Catalase, Oxolinic acid, Intracellular, Programmed cell death and Thymineless death.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Kanamycin, Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance, Antioxidant and Methicillin resistance. His Escherichia coli research incorporates themes from Mutant, Chloramphenicol and Topoisomerase-II Inhibitor. His Bacteria study which covers Quinolone that intersects with Amino acid, Topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Post-stress bacterial cell death mediated by reactive oxygen species (55 citations)
  • Post-stress bacterial cell death mediated by reactive oxygen species (55 citations)
  • Contribution of reactive oxygen species to thymineless death in Escherichia coli. (37 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • DNA
  • Gene

Xilin Zhao mostly deals with Reactive oxygen species, Microbiology, Antimicrobial, Programmed cell death and Antioxidant. The Ampicillin research he does as part of his general Microbiology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Superoxide, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Superoxide is intertwined with Resveratrol, Oxolinic acid and Antibiotics in his study.

Much of his study explores Antioxidant relationship to Kanamycin. His Lethality research integrates issues from Catalase, Antibiotic resistance, Toxicity and Bacterial cell structure. His DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Intracellular, Cell biology and Cell growth.
