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.

  20. A bacteriophage capsid protein is an inhibitor of a conserved transcription terminator of various bacterial pathogens.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Rho is a hexameric molecular motor that functions as a conserved transcription terminator in majority of the bacterial species, which is a potential drug target. Psu is a bacteriophage P4 capsid protein that inhibits E.coli Rho by obstructing its ATPase and translocase activities. Here, we explored the anti-Rho activity of Psu for the Rho proteins from different pathogens.
