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. Cyclic di-GMP and VpsR Induce the Expression of Type II Secretion in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen which alternates between growth in environmental reservoirs and infection of human hosts causing severe diarrhea. The second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) mediates this transition by controlling a wide range of functions such as biofilms, virulence, and motility. Here we report that c-di-GMP induces expression of the extracellular protein secretion (eps) gene cluster, which encodes the Type II Secretion System (T2SS) in V. cholerae.

  2. Contribution of the chromosomal ccdAB operon to bacterial drug tolerance

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • One of the first identified and best studied toxin-antitoxin systems in Escherichia coli is the F-plasmid based CcdAB system. This system is involved in plasmid maintenance through post-segregational killing. More recently, ccdAB homologs have been found on the chromosome, including in pathogenic strains of E. coli and other bacteria. However the functional role of chromosomal ccdAB genes, if any, has remained unclear.

  3. Yeast - Probiotic coctile strains supplemented babies' Cerelac induce highly potential aflatoxins detoxification both in vitro and in vivo in mother and babies albino rats

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • ABSTRACT

      Background

      Aflatoxins (AFs) are a group of toxic, nephrototoxic, hepatotoxic and carcinogenic fungal metabolites. Thus, using of heat acid treated; Yeasts, Probiotic bacteria and their combination were used to remove AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 from human and animal food.

  5. Eu3+-labeled IgG-based time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay for high sensitive detection of aflatoxins B1 in feed

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a kind of toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin. A time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) was established for quantitative detection of AFB1 in feed using Eu3+-labled IgG as the tracer.

  6. Clinical and Pathologic Characterization of an Outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H7N8 in Commercial Turkeys in Southern Indiana

    • Avian Diseases

    • Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a systemic lethal disease of poultry caused by several subtypes of influenza A virus and classified on the basis of serologic reactions to hemagglutinin and neuraminidase surface glycoproteins. In January 2016, a novel subtype of HPAI—H7N8—was diagnosed in a commercial turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) flock in southern Indiana. Clinical signs and history included increased mortality, dyspnea, head tremors, recumbency, and somnolent or unaware birds.

  7. Frequency and Duration of Fecal Shedding of Salmonella Serovars Heidelberg and Typhimurium by Experimentally Infected Laying Hens Housed in Enriched Colony Cages at Different Stocking Densities

    • Avian Diseases

    • Eggs contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis are leading sources of human salmonellosis, but Salmonella Heidelberg and Salmonella Typhimurium are also egg-associated pathogens. The management practices and housing facilities characterizing different systems for housing commercial egg flocks can influence Salmonella persistence and transmission. Animal welfare aspects of poultry housing have been widely debated, but their food safety ramifications are not thoroughly understood.

  9. Challenging Investigation of a Norovirus Foodborne Disease Outbreak During a Military Deployment in Central African Republic

    • Food and Environmental Virology

    • Abstract

      In January 2016, a large-scale outbreak of acute gastroenteritis was reported among French armed forces deployed in the Central African Republic. Challenging investigations, conducted from France, made it possible to identify a norovirus genogroup II in both stool and food samples, confirming a norovirus foodborne disease outbreak. Infected food handler management is discussed.
