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.

  5. Role of sapA and yfgA in Susceptibility to Antibody-Mediated Complement-Dependent Killing and Virulence of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium [Microbial Immunity and Vaccines]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • The ST313 pathovar of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium contributes to a high burden of invasive disease among African infants and HIV-infected adults. It is characterized by genome degradation (loss of coding capacity) and has increased resistance to antibody-dependent complement-mediated killing compared with enterocolitis-causing strains of S. Typhimurium.

  6. SipA Activation of Caspase-3 Is a Decisive Mediator of Host Cell Survival at Early Stages of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Infection [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Salmonella invasion protein A (SipA) is a dual-function effector protein that plays roles in both actin polymerization and caspase-3 activation in intestinal epithelial cells. To date its function in other cell types has remained largely unknown despite its expression in multiple cell types and its extracellular secretion during infection. Here we show that in macrophages SipA induces increased caspase-3 activation early in infection.

  7. The Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Effector EspW Triggers Actin Remodeling in a Rac1-Dependent Manner [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a diarrheagenic pathogen that colonizes the gut mucosa and induces attaching-and-effacing lesions. EHEC employs a type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate 50 effector proteins that hijack and manipulate host cell signaling pathways, which allow bacterial colonization and subversion of immune responses and disease progression. The aim of this study was to characterize the T3SS effector EspW.

  8. NanR Regulates nanI Sialidase Expression by Clostridium perfringens F4969, a Human Enteropathogenic Strain [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Clostridium perfringens can produce up to three different sialidases, including NanI, its major exosialidase. The current study first showed that human intestinal strains of C. perfringens can grow by utilizing either glucose or sialic acids, such as N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), which are the end products of sialidase activity.

  16. Effects of electrode gap and electric current on chlorine generation of electrolyzed deep ocean water

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • Electrolyzed water is a sustainable disinfectant, which can comply with food safety regulations and is environmental friendly. A two-factor central composite design was adopted for studying the effects of electrode gap and electric current on chlorine generation efficiency of electrolyzed deep ocean water. Deep ocean water was electrolyzed in a glass electrolyzing cell equipped with platinum-plated titanium anode and cathode in a constant-current operation mode.

  17. Murine Tissues of Human Liver Chimeric Mice Are Not Susceptible to Hepatitis E Virus Genotypes 1 and 3

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • To the Editor—With great interest we read the article by Zhou and colleagues [1]. The authors intravenously inoculated Balb/c nude mice with a swine fecal preparation containing hepatitis E virus (HEV) of genotype (gt) 4 (strain KM01) and were able to detect high levels of HEV RNA in the mouse serum, liver, and brain [1].
