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. The importance of individual germination receptor subunits in the cooperative function between GerA and Ynd

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Germination of Bacillus spores is triggered by the binding of specific nutrients to germinant receptors (GRs) located in the spore's inner membrane. The GRs typically consist of A, B and C subunits, encoded by tricistronic ger operons. The Bacillus licheniformis genome contains the gerA family operons gerA, ynd and gerK. In contrast to the ABC (D) organization that characterizes gerA operons of many Bacillus species, B.

  2. Acquisition of Cross-Resistance to Bedaquiline and Clofazimine following Treatment for Tuberculosis in Pakistan

    • Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy

    • We report on the first six cases of acquired resistance to bedaquiline in Pakistan. Seventy sequential isolates from 30 drug-resistant-tuberculosis patients on bedaquiline-containing regimens were retrospectively tested for bedaquiline resistance by MIC testing and by the detection of mutations in relevant genes. We documented cases failing therapy that developed specific mutations in Rv0678 and had increased MICs associated with cross-resistance to clofazimine during treatment.

      Abstract

      Revised Salmonella performance standards for ground chicken and turkey were chosen based on a risk assessment model that predicted a 25% reduction in occurrence of human exposures to Salmonella-contaminated comminuted products following implementation of the standards.
