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. Identification of five Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli genes by Luminex microbead-based suspension array

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Publication date: April 2015
      , Volume 111

      To rapidly identify the presence of potentially virulent O157:H7 and non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), a PCR-based Luminex suspension assay was developed to detect the genes coding for four virulence factors ( stx 1, stx 2, eae , and ehxA ) plus the O157:H7-specific + 93 uidA single nucleotide polymorphism.
