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.

  1. The Campylobacter jejuni CprRS two-component regulatory system regulates aspects of the cell envelope

    • Molecular Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis in humans. It lives commensally in the gastrointestinal tract of animals, and tolerates variable conditions during transit/colonization of susceptible hosts. The C. jejuni CprRS two-component system contains an essential response regulator (CprR), and deletion of the cprS sensor kinase enhances biofilms. We sought to identify CprRS-regulated genes and better understand how the system affects survival.

  2. Cj1386, an atypical hemin-binding protein, mediates hemin trafficking to KatA in Campylobacter jejuni

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Catalase enzymes detoxify H2O2 by the dismutation of H2O2 into O2 and H2O through the use of hemin cofactors. While the structure and biochemical properties of catalase enzymes have been well characterized over many decades of research, it remained unclear how catalases acquire hemin. We have previously reported that Cj1386 is essential for ensuring proper hemin content in Campylobacter jejuni catalase (KatA).

  6. Aetiology of acute paediatric gastroenteritis in Bulgaria during summer months: prevalence of the viral infections [STANDARD]

    • Journal of Medical Microbiology

    • Paediatric acute gastroenteritis is a global public health problem.Comprehensive laboratory investigation for viral, bacterial and parasitic agents is helpful for improving management of acute gastroenteritis in health care settings and for monitoring and controlling the spread of these infections.Our study aimed to investigate the role of various pathogens in infantile diarrhoea in Bulgaria outside the classical winter epidemics of rotavirus and norovirus.Stool samples from 115 hospitalized

  7. Intracloacal Inoculation, an Effective Screening Method for Determining the Efficacy of Probiotic Bacterial Isolates against Campylobacter Colonization in Broiler Chickens

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Arsi, K. et al. Campylobacter is a leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide. It is common in poultry, and human infections are often associated with consumption of contaminated poultry products. One strategy to reduce Campylobacter colonization in poultry is the use of oral probiotics, but this produces variable results, possibly because the probiotics are destroyed in the stomach's acidic environment.

  8. Prevalence, Antibiogram, and cdt Genes of Toxigenic Campylobacter jejuni in Salad Style Vegetables (Ulam) at Farms and Retail Outlets in Terengganu

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Khalid, Mohd Ikhsan et al. The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and antibiotic resistance among Campylobacter jejuni in ulam at farms and retail outlets located in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. A total of 526 samples (ulam, soil, and fertilizer) were investigated for the presence of C. jejuni and the gene for cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) by using a multiplex PCR method.
