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. Bioprospecting of Native Efflux Pumps To Enhance Furfural Tolerance in Ethanologenic Escherichia coli [Biotechnology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Efficient microbial conversion of lignocellulose into valuable products is often hindered by the presence of furfural, a dehydration product of pentoses in hemicellulose sugar syrups derived from woody biomass. For a cost-effective lignocellulose microbial conversion, robust biocatalysts are needed that can tolerate toxic inhibitors while maintaining optimal metabolic activities.

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • The aim of this study was to evaluate the transfer of the most widely used antibiotics in dairy goats from milk to cheese as well as their effect on the cheese-making process and cheese characteristics during ripening. Antibiotic-free milk was spiked individually with 7 veterinary drugs (amoxicillin, benzylpenicillin, cloxacillin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, and oxytetracycline) at an equivalent concentration of the European Union maximum residue limit.

  13. LysPBC2, a Novel Endolysin Harboring a Bacillus cereus Spore Binding Domain [Genetics and Molecular Biology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • To control the spore-forming human pathogen Bacillus cereus, we isolated and characterized a novel endolysin, LysPBC2, from a newly isolated B. cereus phage, PBC2. Compared to the narrow host range of phage PBC2, LysPBC2 showed very broad lytic activity against all Bacillus, Listeria, and Clostridium species tested.
