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

    • Coxiella burnetii, the etiological agent of Q fever, undergoes a unique biphasic developmental cycle where bacteria transition from a replicating (exponential phase) large cell variant (LCV) form to a non-replicating (stationary phase) small cell variant (SCV) form.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Bacteria deploy global programs of gene expression, including components of the SOS-response, to counteract the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of environmental DNA damaging factors. Here, we report that genetic damage promoted by hexavalent chromium elicited the SOS-response in Bacillus subtilis, as evidenced by the induction of transcriptional uvrA-lacZ, recA-lacZ and PrecA-gfp fusions. Accordingly, B.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Bacteria sense environmental chemicals using chemosensor proteins, most of which are present in the cytoplasmic membrane. Canonical chemoreceptors bind their specific ligands in their periplasmic domain, and the ligand binding creates a molecular stimulus that is transmitted into the cytoplasm, leading to various cellular responses, such as chemotaxis and specific gene expression.

  12. Estimating Risk to Responders Exposed to Avian Influenza A H5 and H7 Viruses in Poultry, United States, 2014–2017

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • In the United States, outbreaks of avian influenza H5 and H7 virus infections in poultry have raised concern about the risk for infections in humans. We reviewed the data collected during 2014–2017 and found no human infections among 4,555 exposed responders who were wearing protection.
