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.

  6. Behavior of Foodborne Pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in Mixed-Species Biofilms Exposed to Biocides [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • In nature and man-made environments, microorganisms reside in mixed-species biofilms, in which the growth and metabolism of an organism are different from these behaviors in single-species biofilms. Pathogenic microorganisms may be protected against adverse treatments in mixed-species biofilms, leading to health risk for humans. Here, we developed two mixed five-species biofilms that included one or the other of the foodborne pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.

  7. Risk Factors for Detection, Survival, and Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant and Pathogenic Escherichia coli in Household Soils in Rural Bangladesh [Public and Environmental Health Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Soils in household environments in low- and middle-income countries may play an important role in the persistence, proliferation, and transmission of Escherichia coli. Our goal was to investigate the risk factors for detection, survival, and growth of E. coli in soils collected from household plots. E. coli was enumerated in soil and fecal samples from humans, chickens, and cattle from 52 households in rural Bangladesh. Associations between E.

  8. Natural Compounds and Their Analogues as Potent Antidotes against the Most Poisonous Bacterial Toxin [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the most poisonous proteins known to humankind, are a family of seven (serotype A to G) immunologically distinct proteins synthesized primarily by different strains of the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Being the causative agents of botulism, the toxins block neurotransmitter release by specifically cleaving one of the three soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins, thereby inducing flaccid paralysis.

  9. Rhizosphere Microbial Response to Multiple Metal(loid)s in Different Contaminated Arable Soils Indicates Crop-Specific Metal-Microbe Interactions [Microbial Ecology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • In this study, we sampled rhizosphere soils from seven different agricultural fields adjacent to mining areas and cultivated with different crops (corn, rice, or soybean), to study the interactions among the innate microbiota, soil chemical properties, plants, and metal contamination. The rhizosphere bacterial communities were characterized by Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes, and their interactions with the local environments, including biotic and abiotic factors, were analyzed.

  15. Detection of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from layer hens

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThis study was conducted to investigate the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from layer hens and to characterize their molecular background. Among 142 E. coli isolates, 86 (60.6%) showed multidrug resistance and 15 (10.6%) were found to be β-lactamase-producing E. coli.
