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.

      Background

      Although livestock-associated ST398 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been widely reported in different geographic regions, MRSA carriage studies among healthy pigs in Portugal are very limited.

  3. Mutational spectra of aflatoxin B1 in vivo establish biomarkers of exposure for human hepatocellular carcinoma [Genetics]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and/or hepatitis B and C viruses are risk factors for human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Available evidence supports the interpretation that formation of AFB1-DNA adducts in hepatocytes seeds a population of mutations, mainly G:C→T:A, and viral processes synergize to accelerate tumorigenesis, perhaps via inflammation. Responding to a need...

  17. Contrasting Effects of Cattle Manure Applicationsand Root-Induced Changes on Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Rhizosphereof Soybean in an Acidic Haplic Fluvisol: A Chronological Pot Experiment

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • To characterize the dynamic mobilization of heavy metals (HM) in a crop–soil system affected by cattle manure (CM) application, soybean [Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Toyoharuka] crops were exposed in a chronological pot experiment to three CM application rates and sampled at two vegetative stages and two reproductive stages. A sequential extraction procedure for metal fractionation, soil pH, microbial activity, and plant HM uptake was determined.
