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. Deletion of ArmPT, a LamB-like protein, increases cell membrane permeability and antibiotic sensitivity in Vibrio alginolyticus

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Vibrio bacterial species are dominant pathogens in mariculture animals. However, the extensive use of antibiotics and other chemicals has increased drug resistance in Vibrio bacteria.

  3. Virulence and antimicrobial resistance characteristics assessment of Vibrio isolated from shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) breeding system in south China

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • The diseases caused by Vibrio during shrimp breeding program have the risk of spreading in different aquatic areas through larvae transportation between different regions. Therefore, the population distribution and the virulence and antibiotic resistance risk of 5 pathogenic Vibrio in shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) breeding system in China were evaluated for the first time.

  4. Persistence of Salmonella Typhimurium and antibiotic resistance genes in different types of soil influenced by flooding and soil properties

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Salmonella is a zoonotic foodborne bacterial pathogen that can seriously harm health. Persistence of Salmonella and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different types of soil under flooding and natural conditions are rare explored. This study investigated the dynamic changes of the Salmonella, ARGs and bacterial communities in three types of soils applied with pig manure in lab scale.

  5. Physio-biochemical and transcriptomic analysis reveals that the mechanism of Bacillus cereus G2 alleviated oxidative stress of salt-stressed Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. seedlings

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Salt stress severely affects the growth and productivity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Our previous research found that the endophyte Bacillus cereus G2 alleviated the osmotic and oxidative stress in G. uralensis exposed to salinity. However, the mechanism is still unclear. Here, a pot experiment was conducted to analyse the change in parameters related to osmotic adjustment and antioxidant metabolism by G2 in salt-stressed G.

  6. ZEA and DON inhibited inflammation after L. monocytogenes infection and induced ribosomal hyperfunction

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • The complex microbial community in food environment is a major problem of human or animal health and safety. Mycotoxins and food-borne bacteria can both induce inflammation in the body and cause a series of changes in biological functions.
