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.

  12. Application of calcium oxide (CaO, heated scallop-shell powder) for the reduction of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms on eggshell surfaces

    • Poultry Science

    • AbstractThis study investigated bactericidal activity of 0.05 to 0.50% calcium oxide (CaO) against planktonic cells in tryptic soy broth (TSB) and biofilms of Listeria monocytogenes on eggshell surfaces. The bactericidal activity of CaO against planktonic cells and biofilms of L. monocytogens significantly (P < 0.05) increased log reductions with increasing concentrations of CaO.

  13. The gastrointestinal microbiome and its association with the control of pathogens in broiler chicken production: A review

    • Poultry Science

    • AbstractThe microbiome of the broiler chicken gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has been extensively studied, and it has been amply demonstrated that it plays an important role in the health of the host, as it has a positive impact on the immune system, the physiology of the GIT, and productivity.

  14. Correlation between miRNAs and target genes in response to Campylobacter jejuni inoculation in chicken

    • Poultry Science

    • AbstractCampylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is one of the main causes of human campylobacteriosis worldwide. Chicken is the main reservoir of C. jejuni. The cecum is the primary site of C. jejuni colonization. Our previous study has shown that the CLOCK gene is important to regulate the response to C. jejuni inoculation and has a cross-talking with immune-related genes.

  19. CodY-mediated c-di-GMP-dependent inhibition of mammalian cell invasion in Listeria monocytogenes

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Elevated levels of the second messenger c-di-GMP suppress virulence in diverse pathogenic bacteria, yet mechanisms are poorly characterized. In the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, high c-di-GMP levels inhibit mammalian cell invasion. Here, we show that invasion is impaired because of the decreased expression of internalin genes whose products are involved in invasion.

  25. Screening for host proteins interacting with Escherichia coli O157:H7 EspF using bimolecular fluorescence complementation

    • Future Microbiology

    • Aim: To screen host proteins that interact with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 EspF. Materials & methods: Flow cytometry and high-throughput sequencing were used to screen interacting proteins. Molecular function, biological processes and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways were studied using the DAVID online tool. Glutathione S-transferase pull down and dot blotting were used to verify the interactions.
