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.

    • Canadian Journal of Microbiology

    • Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2, also called verocytotoxins) are commonly associated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (Tesh and O’Brien 1991). Recent studies have documented cases of stx carriage in other Shigella species, including S. sonnei linked to travel to Morocco (Nyholm et al. 2015) and S. flexneri with travel history to Caribbean (Gray et al. 2014, 2015).
