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. Improvement of the EN ISO 10273:2017 method for the cultural detection of Yersinia enterocolitica in meat

    • Food Microbiology

    • The isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from food is challenging, because the bacteria are readily overgrown by the concomitant microflora. In addition, thus far, no strictly selective medium for this species is available. The gold standard for cultural detection of Y. enterocolitica in food is described in the EN ISO 10273:2017. It includes a direct plating step that only enables the detection of large numbers of yersiniae.

  2. Growth temperature-induced changes in resistance of Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica to X-ray irradiation

    • Food Microbiology

    • This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different growth temperatures on the resistance of Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica to low-energy X-ray irradiation and elucidate the mechanisms of resistance variability.

  3. Persistence of Yersinia enterocolitica bio-serotype 4/O:3 in a pork production chain in Minas Gerais, Brazil

    • Food Microbiology

    • Yersinia enterocolitica bio-serotype 4/O:3 was previously identified in a pork production chain in Brazil and the obtained isolates presented high identity by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE, XbaI). For the current study, an additional 147 porcine samples (tonsils = 100, palate = 30, head meat = 17) were collected from the same pork production chain 2-years later and 14 (9.5%) tested positive for Y. enterocolitica.
