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. Temporal variability of microbiome in the different plankton hosts revealed distinct environmental persistence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in shrimp farms

    • Microbiological Research

    • Plankton-bacteria interactions may play essential roles in maintaining the persistence of pathogenic Vibrio spp. However, the actual plankton host of the toxigenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus that harbors thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) remains unclear.

  2. High prevalence of qnrVC variants in Vibrio spp. isolated from food samples in South China

    • Microbiological Research

    • Phenotypic resistance to fluoroquinolones due to mutational changes in the gyrA and parC genes is common among clinical Vibrio strains; the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) qnrVC genes were also suggested to play a role in enhancing resistance development.

  3. Transposon insertion sequencing analysis unveils novel genes involved in luxR expression and quorum sensing regulation in Vibrio alginolyticus

    • Microbiological Research

    • Vibrio alginolyticus is an important conditional pathogen of fish, shrimp, shellfish, and other marine aquaculture animals that causes huge economic losses to the marine aquaculture industries. Temperature has a significant influence on its quorum sensing (QS) system, which is essential for its various physiological functions.

  4. Transcriptome Profiles of Genes Related to Growth and Virulence Potential in Vibrio alginolyticus Treated with Modified Clay

    • Microbiological Research

    • Vibrio alginolyticus is a globally distributed opportunistic pathogen that causes different degrees of disease in various marine organisms, such as fish, shrimp and shellfish. At present, vibriosis caused by V. alginolyticus has a wide epidemic range and causes frequent outbreaks, resulting in substantial losses in aquaculture.

  5. Vibrio splendidus infection induces dysbiosis in the blue mussel and favors pathobiontic bacteria

    • Microbiological Research

    • Studies on marine epizootics are often based on the identification of a single pathogen.

  6. Fermentation products of the fungus Monascus spp. impairs the physiological activities of toxin-producing Vibrio cholerae

    • Microbiological Research

    • Monascus spp. are filamentous fungi used in fermented foods. They are also natural colorants and food preservatives. Certain metabolites of Monascus spp. lower cholesterol and have other health-promoting effects in humans. In the present study, we demonstrated that the fermentation products of Monascus spp. inhibited ATP synthesis and motility in toxigenic Vibrio cholerae.
