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.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a supramolecular machine used by many bacterial pathogens to translocate effector proteins directly into the eukaryotic host cell cytoplasm. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an important cause of infantile diarrheal disease in underdeveloped countries. EPEC virulence relies on a T3SS encoded within a chromosomal pathogenicity island known as the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE).

  5. Antibodies damage fimbrial resilience, causing them to be stiff and tangled

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Since adhesion fimbriae are a major virulence factor for many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, they are potential targets for antibodies. Fimbriae are commonly required to initiate colonization leading to disease, and their success as adhesion organelles lies in their ability to both initiate and sustain bacterial attachment to epithelial cells.

  7. Yersinia enterocolitica YopH-Deficient Strain Activates Neutrophil Recruitment to Peyer's Patches and Promotes Clearance of the Virulent Strain [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Yersinia enterocolitica evades the immune response by injecting Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the cytosol of host cells. YopH is a tyrosine phosphatase critical for Yersinia virulence. However, the mucosal immune mechanisms subverted by YopH during in vivo orogastric infection with Y. enterocolitica remain elusive. The results of this study revealed neutrophil recruitment to Peyer's patches (PP) after infection with a YopH-deficient mutant strain (Y. enterocolitica yopH). While the Y.

  8. Vibrio cholerae LeuO Links the ToxR Regulon to Expression of Lipid A Remodeling Genes [Bacterial Infections]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Vibrio cholerae is an intestinal pathogen that causes the diarrheal disease cholera. Colonization of the intestine depends upon the expression of genes that allow V. cholerae to overcome host barriers, including low pH, bile acids, and the innate immune system. ToxR is a major contributor to this process. ToxR is a membrane-spanning transcription factor that coordinates gene expression in response to environmental cues.
