A systematic global map on toxigenesis and genomic virulence of Vibrio spp. was analyzed for research progress to identify the emerging research patterns for establishing a database for designing future interventions.
The databases (Web of Science and Scopus) were analyzed with Voxviewer software to map the global scale of Vibrio spp. or virulence toxin/genes publications and standardized using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) strategies.
The results identified 1162 (Web of Science n = 620, Scopus n = 542), while 314 studies qualified for inclusion and were significantly analyzed on virulence toxin/genes. By co-citation analysis, 4-thematic clusters were developed from 6420 citations and a total reference of 9062. Cluster #1 (pathogenesis & virulence factors) and cluster #4 (host response factors) generated the utmost publications and citations (n = 40, 643) and the least (n = 7, 85) interest by the researcher. Whereas 8-thematic clusters were developed by bibliographic coupling technique analysis, cluster#1 and cluster#8 generated the utmost (n = 78, 1684) and least (n = 7, 81) publications and citations interest by the researcher.
Our findings suggest that Vibrio toxigenesis and virulence factors are a complex field requiring an interdisciplinary approach consisting of interconnected perspectives that have important consequences for academics and policymakers.
分析了关于弧菌属产毒作用和基因组毒力的系统全球图谱,以了解研究进展,确定新兴研究模式,从而建立一个用于设计未来干预措施的数据库。
使用Voxviewer软件分析数据库(Web of Science和Scopus),以绘制弧菌属或毒力毒素/基因出版物的全球规模,并采用系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)策略进行标准化。
结果确定了1162篇文献(Web of Science数据库中n = 620篇,Scopus数据库中n = 542篇),其中314项研究符合纳入标准,并对毒力毒素/基因进行了显著分析。通过共被引分析,从6420次引用和9062条参考文献中形成了4个主题聚类。聚类#1(发病机制和毒力因子)和聚类#4(宿主反应因子)产生的出版物和引用最多(n = 40, 643),而研究人员对其兴趣最少(n = 7, 85)。而通过文献耦合技术分析形成了8个主题聚类,聚类#1和聚类#8产生的出版物和引用最多(n = 78, 1684),研究人员对其兴趣最少(n = 7, 81)。
我们的研究结果表明,弧菌属产毒作用和毒力因子是一个复杂的领域,需要一种跨学科方法,该方法由相互关联的观点组成,对学术界和政策制定者具有重要影响。
