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. Draft Genome Sequence of Cronobacter sakazakii H05, Sequence Type 156, Isolated from a Spiced Ground Beef Dish, Kitfo

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements, Ahead of Print. Cronobacter sakazakii is a foodborne pathogen that causes severe illness in neonates and the elderly. Here, we present the genome sequence of C. sakazakii H05 sequence type 156 (ST156), CC21 strain from Kitfo, resulting in a genome size of 4,495,386 bp, with 4,340 coding sequences and a G+C content of 56.85% after assembly and annotation.

  2. Draft Genome Sequences of Cronobacter muytjensii Cr150, Cronobacter turicensis Cr170, and Cronobacter sakazakii Cr611

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • The sequencing and bioinformatics analyses of isolates Cr150, Cr170, and Cr611 from powdered infant formula indicate that the three strains represent new members in the Cronobacter muytjensii, Cronobacter turicensis, and Cronobacter sakazakii groups, respectively.

  3. Draft Genome Sequence of Cronobacter sakazakii Cr268, Isolated from Infant Powder Formula

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • Cronobacter sakazakii is an emerging pathogen that causes meningitis, bacteremia, sepsis, and necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants. Strain Cr268 was isolated from imported powdered infant formula in 2009 during routine microbial examination according to ISO-22964 ("Microbiology of the food chain—horizontal method for the detection of Cronobacter spp."). Isolate Cr268 was confirmed to be C.
