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. The Application of Digestive Tract Lactic Acid Bacteria with High Esterase Activity for Zearalenone Detoxification

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • ABSTRACT

      BACKGROUND

      Zearalenone (ZEA) is an estrogenic mycotoxin produced by several Fusarium species and frequently contaminates cereals used for food or animal feed. This study attempted to select lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with high esterase activity from the digestive tract, with the goal of using these bacteria for zearalenone (ZEA) detoxification.

  24. Whole-Genome Characterization of Bacillus cereus Associated with Specific Disease Manifestations [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Bacillus cereus remains an important cause of infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. While typically associated with enteric infections, disease manifestations can be quite diverse and include skin infections, bacteremia, pneumonia, and meningitis. Whether there are any genetic correlates of bacterial strains with particular clinical manifestations remains unknown. To address this gap in understanding, we undertook whole-genome analysis of B.

  25. NanI Sialidase Can Support the Growth and Survival of Clostridium perfringens Strain F4969 in the Presence of Sialyated Host Macromolecules (Mucin) or Caco-2 Cells [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Enterotoxin-producing Clostridium perfringens type A strains cause human gastrointestinal (GI) infections, including a very common food poisoning and 5 to 10% of all cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. This bacterium can utilize free sialic acid for growth, but most sialic acids in the GI tract are sequestered on macromolecules, such as the mucin proteins of mucus or glycoconjugates in host cells. However, many C.
