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.

  3. The antimicrobial effect of quorum sensing autoinducers of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, C12-HSL and C4-HSL, against MDR Staphylococcus aureus isolates

    • Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

    • In the current study, we investigated the antibacterial activity of main quorum sensing autoinducers of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, C12-HSL and C4-HSL, against MDR Staphylococcus aureus isolates and their synergistic effects with some common antibiotics. Forty clinical isolates of S. aureus were collected and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern was evaluated. Then, 10 resistant isolates were selected for further studies.

  23. Caffeic acid protects against DNA damage, oxidative and inflammatory mediated toxicities, and upregulated caspases activation in the hepatorenal system of rats treated with aflatoxin B1

    • Toxicon

    • Aflatoxicosis can induce largescale toxicities in predisposed populations. Food fortification with adequate antioxidant sources may reduce the toxic burden from aflatoxicosis. We examined the individual and combined effect of Caffeic acid (CA) on the aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced hepatic and renal injury in male rats.

  24. Cardiotoxicity of patulin was found in H9c2 cells

    • Toxicon

    • Patulin (PAT) is a kind of mycotoxins that is universally found at rotten fruits, especially apples and apple products. Previous studies have shown that PAT has hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. However, cardiotoxicity of PAT is rarely reported. Present study aimed at investigate the cardiotoxicity and relevant mechanisms of PAT on H9c2 cells. Cytotoxicity of PAT were evaluated by MTT assay and LDH.
