Candida is the most studied pathogen.
E. coli has been the most studied pathogen in the research of RNA targets for viability assessment [1], [9], [10], [21], [29], [32], [33].
THE human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-1, the cause of the global AIDS epidemic, is the most intensively studied pathogen in history.
Among bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the most abundant and consequently most thoroughly studied pathogens.
Considering only one pathogen per study, Salmonella (38%) and Shigella (38%) were most commonly studied pathogens in humans, followed by E. coli (13%) and Vibrio sp. (11%) consecutively (Table 2).
It is one of the most studied fish pathogens [1] and has expanded its geographic range and habitat occupation in the last two decades.
This has propelled research particularly in C. albicans, which has emerged as one of the most studied microbial pathogens.
When considered together, this will provide a means of rapidly comparing some of the the most studied fungal pathogens.
Many of the strongest hits, including MTOR, TGFBR1/2 for negative hits and ILK for positive hits, were shared between most of the studied pathogens.
Neisseria gonorhhoea and Neisseria meningitis are the most studied as they are important pathogens causing gonorrhoea and meningitis.
Immunity to several common pathogens has been heavily studied (Table 1), but the strength, duration, and breadth of most host pathogen interactions have not been systematically analyzed, and even the heavily studied pathogens retain mysteries.
