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. Vibrio vulnificus

    • Trends in Microbiology

    • Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative naturally occurring bacterium found commonly in warm (>15oC), low-salinity/brackish waters worldwide. This bacterium occurs in high numbers in seafood, such as shellfish, particularly in warmer months. V. vulnificus is an important opportunistic pathogen that can cause both wound infections and sepsis, typically via exposure to seawater or through consumption of seafood. V. vulnificus carries the highest case fatality rate of any foodborne pathogen.

  5. [ASAP] Nanocorona Formation between Foodborne Nanoparticles Extracted from Roast Squid and Human Serum Albumin

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Foodborne nanoparticles (FNPs) produced by roasting have attracted the attention of people, owing to their safety risk to body health. Herein, we reported the formation, physicochemical properties, elemental composition, biodistribution, and binding with human serum albumin (HSA) of FNPs extracted from roast squid. The results showed that the FNP size gradually decreased from 4.1 to 2.3 nm as the roasting temperature changed from 190 to 250 °C.

  7. Characterization of Vibrio cholerae’s Extracellular Nuclease Xds

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • The Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae encodes two nucleases, Dns and Xds, which play a major role during the human pathogen’s lifecycle. Dns and Xds control three-dimensional biofilm formation and bacterial detachment from biofilms via degradation of extracellular DNA and thus contribute to the environmental, inter-epidemic persistence of the pathogen.

  9. Multidrug resistance regulators MarA, SoxS, Rob, and RamA repress flagellar gene expression and motility in Salmonella enterica serovar

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Production of flagella is costly and subject to global, multi-layered regulation. This is reflected in the hierarchical control of flagellar production in many bacterial species. For Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and its relatives, global regulation of flagellar production primarily occurs through control of flhDC transcription and mRNA translation.

  10. Dependency of Coxiella burnetii type 4B secretion on the ch

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Macrophage parasitism by Coxiella burnetii, the cause of human Q fever, requires translocation of proteins with effector functions directly into the host cell cytosol via a Dot/Icm type 4B secretion system (T4BSS). Secretion by the analogous Legionella pneumophila T4BSS involves signal sequences within C-terminal and internal domains of effector proteins. The cytoplasmic chaperone pair IcmSW promotes secretion and binds internal sites distinct from signal sequences.
