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. A Naturally Occurring Deletion in FliE from Salmonella enterica Serovar Dublin Results in an Aflagellate Phenotype and Defective Proinflammatory Properties [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin is adapted to cattle but is able to infect humans with high invasiveness. An acute inflammatory response at the intestine helps to prevent Salmonella dissemination to systemic sites. Flagella contribute to this response by providing motility and FliC-mediated signaling through pattern recognition receptors. In a previous work, we reported a high frequency (11 out of 25) of S. Dublin isolates lacking flagella in a collection obtained from humans and cattle.

  9. OpaR and RpoS are positive regulators of a virulence factor PrtA in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

    • Microbiology

    • PrtA is an extracellular serine protease of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and has haemolytic and cytotoxic activities. Many extracellular proteases have been shown to be required for nutrient intake and the infection mechanism of vibrios. In this study, we report that OpaR, a quorum sensing regulator, and RpoS, a general stress response regulator, play important roles in the PrtA regulation pathway.
