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. Experimental exposure of farmed mink (Neovison vison) to livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus contaminated feed

    • Veterinary Microbiology

    • Available online 23 February 2019

      Author(s): Mette Fertner, Karl Pedersen, Mariann Chriél

      Abstract

      Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is widely distributed in the Danish pig production. Spillover to the mink production is hypothesized to occur via contaminated pig by-products used in the production of mink feed.

  8. Pathogenicity of a fowl adenovirus serotype 4 isolated from chickens associated with hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome in China

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTHydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome (HHS) is characterized by pericardial effusion and hepatitis and causes huge economic losses in the poultry industry in China. In this study, a strain of fowl adenoviruses (FAdV-4) (GX-1) was isolated from liver samples of diseased chickens with HHS.

  10. The Human Fecal Microbiota Metabolizes Foodborne Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines by Reuterin Conjugation and Further Transformations

    • Molecular Nutrition & Food Research

    • Scope

      Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are process‐induced food contaminants with high mutagenic and/or carcinogenic potential. Although the human gut microbiota is known to affect the metabolism of dietary constituents, its impact on HAA metabolism and toxicity has been little studied. Here, we investigated the glycerol‐dependent metabolism of seven foodborne HAAs (AαC, Trp‐P‐1, harman, norharman, PhIP, MeIQx, and MeIQ) by human fecal microbiota.

  11. A Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecalis [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Among enterococci, Enterococcus faecalis occurs ubiquitously, with the highest incidence of human and animal infections. The high genetic plasticity of E. faecalis complicates both molecular investigations and phylogenetic analyses. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enables unraveling of epidemiological linkages and putative transmission events between humans, animals, and food.

  12. Test Agreement among Biochemical Methods, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry, and 16S rRNA Sequencing for Identification of Microorganisms Isolated from Bovine Milk [Clinical Veterinary Microbiology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • The objective of this prospective study was a blinded comparison of three methods for the identification of bacteria isolated on Columbia blood agar from milk samples of dairy cows. Basic biochemical testing, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and 16S rRNA partial genome sequence analysis were compared for bacterial identification to the genus or species level.
