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.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Vibrio cholerae, the facultative pathogen responsible for cholera disease, continues to pose a global health burden. Its persistence can be attributed to a flexible genetic toolkit that allows for adaptation to different environments with distinct carbon sources, including the six-carbon sugar alcohol mannitol. V.

  5. Structural and functional variation in outer membrane polysaccharide export (OPX) proteins from the two major capsule assembly pathways present in Esche

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are virulence factors for many important pathogens. In Escherichia coli, CPSs are synthesized via two distinct pathways, but both require proteins from the outer membrane polysaccharide export (OPX) family to complete CPS export from the periplasm to the cell surface. In this study, we compare the properties of the OPX proteins from the prototypical group 1 (Wzy-dependent) and group 2 (ABC transporter-dependent) pathways in E. coli K30 (Wza) and E.

  6. Investigating possible association of multidrug resistance (MDR) and isolate origin with some virulence factors of Escherichia coli strains isolated from infant faeces and fresh green vegetables

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      In this study the association between multidrug resistance (MDR) and the expression of some virulence factors were evaluated in E. coli strains isolated from infant faeces and fresh green vegetables. The effect of isolate origin on associated virulence factors was evaluated. In addition, genetic fingerprinting of a sample of these isolates (10 isolates from each group) was studied in order to detect any genetic relatedness among these isolates.
