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.

  2. Draft Genome Sequences of Three Novel Acinetobacter Isolates from an Irish Commercial Pig Farm

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • Acinetobacter species are important in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which threatens human and animal health worldwide. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three Acinetobacter species strains (RF14B, RF15A, and RF15B) isolated from pig feces and the floor of a pig hospital pen in Ireland.

  9. An outbreak of multiple genotypes of Listeria monocytogenes in New Zealand linked to contaminated ready‐to‐eat meats – a retrospective analysis using whole genome sequencing

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Four cases of listeriosis in a hospital (A) in New Zealand were identified in 2012. Pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis used at the time identified four pulsotypes amongst the clinical isolates. Two of the pulsotypes matched to L. monocytogenes isolates obtained from ready‐to‐eat (RTE) meat samples from a RTE producer tested during a nationwide microbiological survey the month prior.
