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.

  1. Murine colonization model by Campylobacter coli DSPV458

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 2, Page 1457-1466, February 2022. Aims To generate a murine experimental model of colonization by Campylobacter coli DSPV458. Methods and Results Twelve adult Balb/cCmedc female mice were housed in a treated group (T-G) and a control group (C-G) for 4 weeks. Both experimental groups received antibiotics for 5 days during the first week.
