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. Prioritization of vegetable-borne biological hazards in Argentina using a multicriteria decision analysis tool

    • Food Science and Technology International

    • Vegetables, especially those eaten raw, have been implicated in several foodborne disease outbreaks. Since multiple vegetable matrices and hazards are involved, risk managers have to prioritize those with the greatest impact on public health to design control strategies. In this study, a scientific-based risk ranking of foodborne pathogens transmitted by leafy green vegetables in Argentina was performed.

  2. Competitive growth kinetics of Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes with enteric microflora in a small‐intestine model

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 2, Page 1467-1478, February 2022. Aims The biological events occurring during human digestion help to understand the mechanisms underlying the dose–response relationships of enteric bacterial pathogens.

    • Toxins

    • Foodborne diseases affect an estimated 600 million people worldwide annually, with the majority of these illnesses caused by Norovirus, Vibrio, Listeria, Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. To elicit infections in humans, bacterial pathogens express a combination of virulence factors and toxins.

      Aims
      The biological events occurring during human digestion help understand the mechanisms underlying the dose-response relationships of enteric bacterial pathogens. To better understand these events, we investigated the growth and reduction behavior of bacterial pathogens in an in vitro model simulating the environment of the small intestine.

  5. Risk of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli, and Campylobacter spp. in Food Animals and Their Products in Qatar

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Mohammed, Hussni O. et al. Escherichia coli O157:H7, non-O157 E. coli, and Campylobacter spp. are among the top-ranked pathogens that threaten the safety of food supply systems around the world. The associated risks and predisposing factors were investigated in a dynamic animal population using a repeat-cross-sectional study design.
