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. Caspase-8 induces cleavage of gasdermin D to elicit pyroptosis during Yersinia infection [Immunology and Inflammation]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Cell death and inflammation are intimately linked during Yersinia infection. Pathogenic Yersinia inhibits the MAP kinase TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) via the effector YopJ, thereby silencing cytokine expression while activating caspase-8–mediated cell death. Here, using Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in corroboration with costimulation of lipopolysaccharide and (5Z)-7-Oxozeaenol, a small-molecule inhibitor of TAK1,...

  16. [ASAP] Epicatechin Adducting with 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural as an Inhibitory Mechanism against Acrylamide Formation in Maillard Reactions

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory mechanism of epicatechin (EC) on the formation of acrylamide in Maillard reactions. The glucose + asparagine model is a typical chemical system used to investigate acrylamide formation. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an important carbonyl intermediate in Maillard reactions and can also react with asparagine to form acrylamide. Time courses showed that EC inhibited more HMF than acrylamide in the glucose + asparagine model heated at 180 °C.

  17. CTX-M-65 Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing Salmonella enterica Serotype Infantis, United States1

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) confer resistance to clinically important third-generation cephalosporins, which are often used to treat invasive salmonellosis. In the United States, ESBLs are rarely found in Salmonella. However, in 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration found blaCTX-M-65 ESBL-producing Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis in retail chicken meat. The isolate had a rare pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern.
