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.

  2. Yersinia enterocolitica YopH-Deficient Strain Activates Neutrophil Recruitment to Peyer's Patches and Promotes Clearance of the Virulent Strain [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Yersinia enterocolitica evades the immune response by injecting Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the cytosol of host cells. YopH is a tyrosine phosphatase critical for Yersinia virulence. However, the mucosal immune mechanisms subverted by YopH during in vivo orogastric infection with Y. enterocolitica remain elusive. The results of this study revealed neutrophil recruitment to Peyer's patches (PP) after infection with a YopH-deficient mutant strain (Y. enterocolitica yopH). While the Y.

  3. Vibrio cholerae LeuO Links the ToxR Regulon to Expression of Lipid A Remodeling Genes [Bacterial Infections]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Vibrio cholerae is an intestinal pathogen that causes the diarrheal disease cholera. Colonization of the intestine depends upon the expression of genes that allow V. cholerae to overcome host barriers, including low pH, bile acids, and the innate immune system. ToxR is a major contributor to this process. ToxR is a membrane-spanning transcription factor that coordinates gene expression in response to environmental cues.

  4. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 300: Effect of Degradation of Zearalenone-Contaminated Feed by Bacillus licheniformis CK1 on Postweaning Female Piglets

    • Toxins

    • Zearalenone (ZEA), an estrogenic mycotoxin, is mainly produced by Fusarium fungi. In this study, Bacillus licheniformis CK1 isolated from soil with the capability of degrading ZEA was evaluated for its efficacy in reducing the adverse effects of ZEA in piglets.

  6. Occurrence of Aflatoxin B1 in Baby Foods Marketed in Iran

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • Abstract

      BACKGROUND

      Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as a toxic fungal metabolite, can be found in baby foods, which can lead to serious complications for children's health. In this study, 48 commercial baby foods available in the Iranian market were investigated for the presence of AFB1, using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system equipped with post-column photochemical derivatization and a fluorescence detector.
