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.

  1. FISHing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex by Use of a rpoB DNA Probe Bait [Mycobacteriology and Aerobic Actinomycetes]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Routine staining of sputum specimens does not identify acid-fast bacilli as Mycobacterium tuberculosis with utmost precision, limiting its usability as a confirmatory test for pulmonary tuberculosis. We have combined Ziehl-Neelsen staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect M. tuberculosis in sputum specimens. We have developed a new fluorescent oligonucleotide rpoBMTC probe (5'-Alexa-555-AGCGGGGTGATGTCAACCCAG-3') targeting the M. tuberculosis complex rpoB gene.

  2. Evaluation of a Culture-Dependent Algorithm and a Molecular Algorithm for Identification of Shigella spp., Escherichia coli, and Enteroinvasive E. coli [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Identification of Shigella spp., Escherichia coli, and enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) is challenging because of their close relatedness. Distinction is vital, as infections with Shigella spp. are under surveillance of health authorities, in contrast to EIEC infections. In this study, a culture-dependent identification algorithm and a molecular identification algorithm were evaluated.

  8. A subset of exoribonucleases serve as degradative enzymes for pGpG in c-di-G

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a bacterial second messenger that regulates processes such as biofilm formation and virulence. During degradation, c-di-GMP is first linearized to pGpG and subsequently hydrolyzed to two GMPs by a previously unknown enzyme, which was recently identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the 3' to 5' exoribonuclease Oligoribonuclease (Orn). Mutants of orn accumulated pGpG, which inhibited linearization of c-di-GMP.

      Abstract

      Fusarium mycotoxins, such as fumonisins, trichothecenes, zearalenone and emerging fusariotoxins, common contaminants of feed and food, have received increased interest, due to the possible impact on animal and human health.
