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. Toxins, Vol. 9, Pages 3: The Pathogenetic Effect of Natural and Bacterial Toxins on Atopic Dermatitis

    • Toxins

    • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common allergic skin disease that is associated with chronic, recurrent eczematous and pruritic lesions at the flexural folds caused by interacting factors related to environmental and immune system changes. AD results in dry skin, and immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic reactions to foods and environmental allergens.

  4. Identification of heat resistant Escherichia coli by qPCR for the locus of heat resistance

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Publication date: Available online 22 December 2016


      Author(s): Angela Ma, Linda Chui

      Three qPCR assays targeting the locus of heat resistance to identify heat resistant clinical Escherichia coli isolates are described. Of 613 isolates, 3 (0.5%) possessed the locus. The assays are a rapid, highly sensitive and specific alternative to screening by heat shock and can be used in food safety surveillance.

  23. Structural basis for glutathione-mediated activation of the virulence regulatory protein PrfA in Listeria [Biochemistry]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Infection by the human bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is mainly controlled by the positive regulatory factor A (PrfA), a member of the Crp/Fnr family of transcriptional activators. Published data suggest that PrfA requires the binding of a cofactor for full activity, and it was recently proposed that glutathione (GSH) could...
