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.

  6. Anaerobic heme degradation in E. coli O157:H7 [Biochemistry]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • All of the heme-degrading enzymes that have been characterized to date require molecular oxygen as a cosubstrate. Escherichia coli O157:H7 has been shown to express heme uptake and transport proteins, as well as use heme as an iron source. This enteric pathogen colonizes the anaerobic space of the lower intestine...

  11. Suppressor mutations linking gpsB with the first committed step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis in Listeria monocytogenes

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The cell division protein GpsB is a regulator of the penicillin binding protein A1 (PBP A1) in the Gram-positive human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. Penicillin binding proteins mediate the last two steps of peptidoglycan biosynthesis as they polymerize and crosslink peptidoglycan strands, the main components of the bacterial cell wall. It is not known what other processes are controlled by GpsB. L.

  12. Comparison of PCR-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry with 16S rRNA PCR and Amplicon Sequencing for Detection of Bacteria in Excised Heart Valves [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Identification of the causative pathogen of infective endocarditis (IE) is crucial for adequate management and therapy. A broad-range PCR-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR-ESI-MS) technique was compared with broad-spectrum 16S rRNA PCR and amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA PCR) for the detection of bacterial pathogens in 40 heart valves obtained from 34 definite infective endocarditis patients according to the modified Duke criteria and six nonendocarditis patients.

  13. Pooled Nucleic Acid Amplification Test for Screening of Stool Specimens for Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)-associated enteric illness is attributed to O157 and non-O157 serotypes; however, traditional culture-based methods underdetect non-O157 STEC. Labor and cost of consumables are major barriers to implementation of the CDC recommendation to test all stools for both O157 and non-O157 serotypes. We evaluated the feasibility of a pooled nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) as an approach for screening stool specimens for STEC.
