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.

  2. Potent neutralization of hepatitis A virus reveals a receptor mimic mechanism and the receptor recognition site [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infects ∼1.4 million people annually and, although there is a vaccine, there are no licensed therapeutic drugs. HAV is unusually stable (making disinfection problematic) and little is known of how it enters cells and releases its RNA. Here we report a potent HAV-specific monoclonal antibody, R10,...

  19. The fatty acid regulator FadR influences the expression of the virulence cascade in the El Tor biotype of Vibrio cholerae by modulating the levels of ToxT via two different mechanisms

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • FadR is a master regulator of fatty acid (FA) metabolism that coordinates the pathways of FA degradation and biosynthesis in enteric bacteria. We show here that a fadR mutation in the El Tor biotype of Vibrio cholerae prevents the expression of the virulence cascade by influencing both the transcription and post-translational regulation of the master virulence regulator ToxT.
