Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. Detection and Discrimination of Classical and Atypical L-Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy by Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion [Clinical Veterinary Microbiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Statutory surveillance of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) indicates that cattle are susceptible to both classical BSE (C-BSE) and atypical forms of BSE. Atypical forms of BSE appear to be sporadic and thus may never be eradicated. A major challenge for prion surveillance is the lack of sufficiently practical and sensitive tests for routine BSE detection and strain discrimination.

  2. Differential Single Nucleotide Polymorphism-Based Analysis of an Outbreak Caused by Salmonella enterica Serovar Manhattan Reveals Epidemiological Details Missed by Standard Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis [Epidemiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • We retrospectively analyzed a rare Salmonella enterica serovar Manhattan outbreak that occurred in Italy in 2009 to evaluate the potential of new genomic tools based on differential single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis in comparison with the gold standard genotyping method, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

  3. Delineating Community Outbreaks of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium by Use of Whole-Genome Sequencing: Insights into Genomic Variability within an Outbreak [Epidemiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Whole-genome next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to retrospectively examine 57 isolates from five epidemiologically confirmed community outbreaks (numbered 1 to 5) caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phage type DT170. Most of the human and environmental isolates confirmed epidemiologically to be involved in the outbreaks were either genomically identical or differed by one or two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), with the exception of those in outbreak 1.

  23. Antifungal Effects of Ozonated Water on Aspergillus parasiticus: A New Approach to Prevent Wheat Contamination

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • In Iran, wheat is one of the most important sources of diet. Unfortunately, it is vulnerable to contamination with fungi consisting of aflatoxigenic moulds. Since 1997, ozone has been recognized as an effective oxidant and disinfection agent. This study demonstrates the benefits derived from ozone in the inhibition of Aspergillus parasiticus growth and aflatoxin production in wheat.
