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.

    • International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents

    • Author(s): Satoshi Nishida, Yasuo Ono

      Abstract
      Background

      : Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae has expanded rapidly and is associated with severe nosocomial infections. Last-line antibiotics such as colistin and tigecycline remain the only treatment option. Here, we describe the genetic background of a novel pan-resistant KPC-producing K. pneumoniae isolate from Tokyo, Japan.

  25. Relationship between livestock exposure and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage in humans: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

    • International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents

    • Author(s): Yangqun Liu, Changlin Han, Zhiyao Chen, Dan Guo, Xiaohua Ye

      Abstract
      Background

      Although previous studies have suggested an association between livestock exposure and the risk of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in humans, it remains unclear whether there is a dose-response relationship.

      Objective

      The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between livestock exposure and MRSA carriage.
