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. Machine learning-based predictive modeling to identify genotypic traits associated with Salmonella enterica disease endpoints in isolates from ground chicken

    • LWT

    • Author(s): Collins K. Tanui, Shraddha Karanth, Patrick M.K. Njage, Jianghong Meng, Abani K. Pradhan As the cost of genome sequencing of foodborne pathogens decreases, it has become possible to sequence a large number of isolates and evaluate those using machine learning algorithms. This study aimed to utilize machine learning algorithms to predict the disease endpoints in untagged Salmonella genome sequences isolated from ground chicken.
