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.

  2. Reevaluation of whether a Functional Agr-like Quorum-Sensing System Is Necessary for Production of Wild-Type Levels of Epsilon-Toxin by Clostridium perfringens Type D Strains

    • mBio

    • mBio, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2022. Clostridium perfringens type B and D strains produce epsilon-toxin (ETX). Our 2011 mBio study (mBio 2:e00275-11, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00275-11) reported that the Agr quorum-sensing (QS) system regulates ETX production by type D strain CN3718. However, subsequent studies have brought that conclusion into question.
