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.

    • PLOS Pathogens

    • by Saray Gutiérrez, Julia Fischer, Raja Ganesan, Nina Judith Hos, Gökhan Cildir, Martina Wolke, Alberto Pessia, Peter Frommolt, Vincenzo Desiderio, Vidya Velagapudi, Nirmal Robinson Regulation of cellular metabolism is now recognized as a crucial mechanism for the activation of innate and adaptive immune cells upon diverse extracellular stimuli. Macrophages, for instance, increase glycolysis upon stimulation with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).

  11. The type 3 secretion system requires actin polymerization to open translocon pores

    • PLOS Pathogens

    • by Brian C. Russo, Jeffrey K. Duncan-Lowey, Poyin Chen, Marcia B. Goldberg Many bacterial pathogens require a type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to establish a niche. Host contact activates bacterial T3SS assembly of a translocon pore in the host plasma membrane. Following pore formation, the T3SS docks onto the translocon pore. Docking establishes a continuous passage that enables the translocation of virulence proteins, effectors, into the host cytosol.
