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.

  4. Novel sequence types of non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli isolated from cattle

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of non-O157 STEC isolates from cattle. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) was used to identify and compare the sequence types (STs) of 43 non-O157 STEC cattle isolates using the EcMLST database curated by the STEC Center at Michigan State University. For the 43 isolates, 19 STs were identified and 10 of those STs were novel compared to those in EcMLST. For the 43 isolates, 19 different serotypes were identified.

  5. The impact of a national routine immunisation programme initiated in 1999 on Hepatitis A incidence in Israel, 1993 to 2012

    • Eurosurveillance

    • Data on long-term impact of universal national vaccination programmes against hepatitis A are lacking. We aimed at evaluating the impact on hepatitis A incidence of the Israeli toddlers-only universal routine two-dose vaccination programme against hepatitis A initiated in 1999. All hepatitis A episodes reported to the national surveillance system from 1993 to 2012 were analysed in relation to the vaccination programme and coverage.

  15. Coordinated zinc homeostasis is essential for the wild-type virulence of Brucella abortus

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Metal homeostasis in bacterial cells is a highly regulated process requiring intricately coordinated import and export, as well as precise sensing of intracellular metal concentrations. The uptake of zinc (Zn) has been linked to the virulence of Brucella abortus; however, the capacity of Brucella strains to sense Zn levels and subsequently coordinate Zn homeostasis has not been described.

  16. Analysis of the Activity and Regulon of the Two-component Regulatory System Composed by Cjj1484 and Cjj1483 of Campylobacter jejuni

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial diarrheal disease and a frequent commensal of the intestinal tract of poultry and other animals. For optimal growth and colonization of hosts, C. jejuni employs two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) to monitor environmental conditions and promote proper expression of specific genes. We analyzed the potential of C.

  17. A single serine residue determines selectivity to monovalent metal ions in metalloregulators of the MerR family

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • MerR metalloregulators alleviate toxicity caused by the excess of metal ions such copper, zinc, mercury, lead, cadmium, silver or gold by triggering the expression of specific efflux or detoxification systems upon metal detection. The sensor protein binds the inducer metal ion using two conserved cysteine residues at the C-terminal metal-binding loop (MBL).

  18. Interaction with EIIBMpo and phosphorylation by P~EIIBMpo exert antagonistic effects on the transcription activator ManR of Listeria monocytogenes

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Listeriae take up glucose and mannose predominantly through a mannose-class PEP:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTSMan), whose three components are encoded by the manLMN genes. Expression of these genes is controlled by ManR, a LevR-type transcription activator containing two PTS regulation domains (PRDs) and two PTS-like domains (EIIAMan- and EIIBGat-like). We demonstrate here that in L.
