Overview

Yuzuru Mikami is affiliated with Chiba University in Japan. Their research spans multiple disciplines within medicine and engineering, with a focus on infectious diseases, epidemiology, biomedical engineering, molecular biology, and microbiology.

The primary topics of Mikami's work include antifungal resistance and susceptibility, fungal infections and studies, biosensors and analytical detection, genomics and phylogenetic studies, actinomycetales infections and treatment, plant disease resistance and genetics, and nail diseases and treatments.

Key recent publications by Mikami cover various specialized areas and include the following:

  • Development and validation of LAMP primer sets for rapid identification of Aspergillus fumigatus carrying the cyp51A TR46 azole resistance gene, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Gordonia crocea sp. nov. and Gordonia spumicola sp. nov. isolated from sludge of a wastewater treatment plant, 2020, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY
  • The Predominance of a Specific Genotype of Cryptococcus neoformans var. Grubii in China and Japan, 2022, Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine
  • Development and Validation of LAMP Primer Sets for Rapid and Correct Identification of Aspergillus fumigatus Carrying the cyp51A TR46 Azole Resistance Gene, 2021, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Development and Validation of LAMP Primer Sets for Rapid Identification of Aspergillus Fumigatus Carrying the cyp51A TR46 Azole Resistance Gene, 2021, Research Square (Research Square)

Mikami has collaborated extensively with several researchers, notably:

  • Plínio Trabasso
  • Tetsuhiro Matsuzawa
  • Teppei Arai
  • Daisuke Hagiwara
  • Maria Luíza Moretti

Their publications appear in a range of venues, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of their research. Frequent publication venues include:

  • Scientific Reports
  • INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY
  • Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine
