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.

  9. Higher Temperatures Do Not Always Achieve Better Antibiotic Resistance Gene Removal in Anaerobic Digestion of Swine Manure [Public and Environmental Health Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • This study employed high-throughput quantitative PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing to evaluate the effect of temperature and residual antibiotics on the dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microbial communities during anaerobic digestion of swine manure. The abundances of total ARGs and 16S rRNA genes significantly decreased in all of four treatments (25°C, 37°C, and 37°C with 50 mg of wet weight antibiotics of body weight, and 55°C).

  11. [ASAP] Pocket-based Lead Optimization Strategy for the Design and Synthesis of Chitinase Inhibitors

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Insect chitinases play an indispensable role in shedding old cuticle during molting. Targeting chitinase inhibition is a promising pest control strategy. Of ChtI, a chitinase from the destructive insect pest Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer), has been suggested as a potential target for designing green pesticides. A 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate scaffold was previously obtained, and further derivatization generated the lead compound 1 as Of ChtI inhibitor.

  15. Extragenic suppression of elongation factor P mutant phenotypes in Erwin

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Elongation factor P (EF-P) facilitates the translation of certain peptide motifs, including those with multiple proline residues. EF-P must be post-translationally modified for full functionality; in Enterobacteria this is accomplished by two enzymes, EpmA and EpmB, which catalyze the β-lysylation of EF-P at a conserved lysine position.
