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. Marine actinomycete Streptomyces variabilis S26 as a biocontrol agent for vibriosis in shrimp larval rearing systems

    • Journal of Basic Microbiology

    • Abstract Indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant microbes and the loss of natural flora in aquaculture systems necessitating the ban of many of these chemotherapeutants in aquaculture. Actinobacteria play a profound role in the biogeochemical cycling in the marine environment and represent the principal source of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial property.

  2. Bacteriostatic effects of phage F23s1 and its endolysin on Vibrio parahaemolyticus

    • Journal of Basic Microbiology

    • Journal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a common foodborne pathogenic bacterium and drug-resistant strains are now widespread. Phages led by drug-resistant V. parahaemolyticus strains are promising means to decrease the pressure on public health. We isolated a V. parahaemolyticus-specific bacteriophage F23s1 that was active at wide ranges of temperature (30–60°C) and pH (4–10).
