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.

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The use of bacteriophages as antimicrobials against pathogenic bacteria offers a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics and disinfectants. Significantly, phages may help to remove biofilms, which are notoriously resistant to commonly used eradication methods. However, the successful development of novel antibiofilm strategies must take into account that real-life biofilms usually consist of mixed-species populations.

    • From the years 2008 to 2014, a total of 1,155 water samples were collected (spring to fall) from 24 surface water sampling sites located in a mixed-used but predominantly agricultural (i.e., dairy livestock production) river basin in eastern Ontario, Canada.

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Structural disruption of the gut microbiota and impaired goblet cell function are collateral etiologic factors in enteric diseases. Low, moderate, or high doses of a Bacillus licheniformis-B. subtilis mixture (BLS mix) were orally administered to piglets of genotype MUC4 that are supposed to be F4-expressing enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain (F4+ ETEC) F4ab/ac receptor negative (i.e., MUC4-resistant piglets) for 1 week before F4+ ETEC challenge.

  8. Season-Specific Occurrence of Potentially Pathogenic Vibrio spp. on the Southern Coast of South Korea [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Vibrio species are widely distributed in warm estuarine and coastal environments, and they can infect humans through the consumption of raw and mishandled contaminated seafood. In this study, we aimed to isolate and observe the distribution of enteropathogenic Vibrio spp. from environments of the southern coast of South Korea over a season cycle. A total of 10,983 isolates of Vibrio spp.

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Diagnostic testing for foodborne pathogens relies on culture-based techniques that are not rapid enough for real-time disease surveillance and do not give a quantitative picture of pathogen abundance or the response of the natural microbiome.

    • Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterial pathogen that is found in a wide variety of anthropogenic and natural environments. Genome sequencing technologies are rapidly becoming a powerful tool in facilitating our understanding of how genotype, classification phenotypes, and virulence phenotypes interact to predict the health risks of individual bacterial isolates. Currently, 57 closed L.

  11. Identification and Characterization of Glycopeptidesfrom Egg Protein Ovomucin with Anti-Agglutinating Activity againstPorcine K88 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Strains

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Ovomucin is a glycoprotein from egg white with potential to act as an anti-adhesive agent against infectious diseases. This study aimed to determine whether ovomucin or ovomucin hydrolysates could prevent adhesion of two porcine K88 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains. Adhesion was assessed in vitro using a hemagglutination assay. Ovomucin hydrolysates, but not intact ovomucin, prevented adhesion of ETEC to porcine erythrocytes.
