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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.
