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.

  4. A carbonic anhydrase pseudogene sensitizes select Brucella lineages to low CO2 tension

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Brucella are intracellular pathogens that cause a disease known as brucellosis. Though the genus is highly monomorphic at the genetic level, species have animal host preferences and some defining physiologic characteristics. Of note is the requirement for CO2 supplementation to cultivate particular species, which confounded early efforts to isolate B. abortus from diseased cattle.

  5. One-Pot Biosynthesis of L-Aspartate from Maleate via an Engineered Strain Containing a Dual-Enzyme System

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • l-Aspartate has been widely used in medicine and the food and chemical industries. In this study, Serratia marcescens maleate cis-trans isomerase (MaiA) and Escherichia coli aspartase (AspA) were coupled and coexpressed in an engineered E. coli strain in which the byproduct metabolic pathway was inactivated. The engineered E. coli strain containing the dual-enzyme system (pMA) was employed to bioproduce l-aspartate from maleate with a conversion of 98%.

  6. Ethanol Adaptation Strategies in Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Revealed by Global Proteomic and Mutagenic Analyses

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is able to adapt to sublethal concentrations of ethanol, which subsequently induce tolerance of this pathogen to normally lethal ethanol challenges. This work aims to elucidate the underlying ethanol adaptation mechanisms of S. Enteritidis by proteomic and mutagenic analyses. The global proteomic response of S.

  7. Changes in the Ileal, but Not Fecal, Microbiome in Response to Increased Dietary Protein Level and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Exposure in Pigs

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The relationship between porcine gut microbiota composition and health is an important area of research, especially due to the need to find alternatives to antimicrobial use to manage disease in livestock production systems. Previous work has indicated that lower crude dietary protein levels can reduce the impacts of postweaning colibacillosis, which is a porcine diarrheal disease caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).

  8. Peptide-Based Efflux Pump Inhibitors of the Small Multidrug Resistance Protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    • Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy

    • Bacteria have acquired multiple mechanisms to evade the lethal effects of current therapeutics, hindering treatment of bacterial infections, such as those caused by the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is responsible for nosocomial and cystic fibrosis lung infections. One resistance mechanism involves membrane-embedded multidrug efflux pumps that can effectively extrude an array of substrates, including common antibiotics, dyes, and biocides.

      Abstract

      The objective of this study was to survey the prevalence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in raw, pasteurized, extended shelf life (ESL) and UHT milk from central-south China. A total of 734 milk samples, comprising raw milk (133 samples), pasteurized milk (410), ESL milk (93) and UHT milk (98), were obtained between Nov. 01, 2018 and Mar. 31, 2019.
