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. Involvement of {beta}-Carbonic Anhydrase Genes in Bacterial Genomic Islands and Their Horizontal Transfer to Protists [Evolutionary and Genomic Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Genomic islands (GIs) are a type of mobile genetic element (MGE) that are present in bacterial chromosomes. They consist of a cluster of genes that produce proteins that contribute to a variety of functions, including, but not limited to, the regulation of cell metabolism, antimicrobial resistance, pathogenicity, virulence, and resistance to heavy metals. The genes carried in MGEs can be used as a trait reservoir in times of adversity.

  7. Analyses of prevalence and molecular typing reveal the spread of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella infection across 2 breeder chicken farms1

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTIn this study, Salmonella prevalence and antimicrobial resistance were evaluated at various production stages in 2 geographically separated breeder farms (referred to as G and F). Day-old chicks for the breeder flock at farm F were purchased from farm G. A total of 219 Salmonella isolates, all identified as Salmonella enterica subsp.

  8. The cecal microbiome of commercial broiler chickens varies significantly by season

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTNext-generation DNA sequencing is rapidly becoming a powerful tool for food animal management. One valuable use of this technology is to re-examine long-standing observations of performance differences associated with animal husbandry practices to better understand how these differences may be modulated by the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome.
