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. Occurrence, Molecular Characterization, and Antibiotic Resistance of Cronobacter sakazakii in Goat Milk-Based Infant Formula from Shaanxi Province, China

    • Foodborne Pathogens and Disease
    • This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Cronobacter sakazakii in goat milk-based infant formula (GIF) collected from Shaanxi Province, China, and reveal the molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance profile of these isolates. A total of 750 GIF samples were collected from the retail markets in 5 cities in Shaanxi Province from February 2019 to February 2021.

  2. Citral Attenuated Intestinal Inflammation Induced by Cronobacter sakazakii in Newborn Mice

    • Foodborne Pathogens and Disease
    • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious inflammatory intestinal disorder with a high mortality rate, which occurs most commonly in newborn infants. Cronobacter sakazakii, a common contaminant in infant formula, is associated with NEC. However, its role in NEC pathogenesis is unknown, and there are still no effective treatments for NEC. Currently, natural bioactive products have been investigated for their beneficial effects in preventing microbial infection.
