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. 380 The Sow Milk Microbiome and Resistome

    • Journal of Animal Science
    • In addition to oligosaccharides, proteins (e.g., immunoglobulins), lipids, vitamins, and other nutrients vital for piglet health, sow’s milk contains bacteria believed to be important in gut health. Therefore, certain sow milk isolates with potentially beneficial properties may be of interest for use as probiotic strains.

  2. PSVI-7 Snorna Dysregulated Expression and Potential Roles in Bovine Sub-Clinical Mastitis Due to Staphylococcus Chromogenes

    • Journal of Animal Science
    • Staphylococcus chromogenes (SC), a frequent non-aureus staphylococcus on Canadian herds causes both clinical and subclinical forms of mastitis and contributes to large economic losses on Canadian farms. However, little research attention has been directed to uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying SC mastitis pathogenesis, including the roles of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs).

  3. Effects of management strategies during early lactation and weaning on etiological agents of ovine subclinical mastitis and antimicrobial susceptibility of milk-derived bacterial isolates

    • Journal of Animal Science
    • Subclinical mastitis is a common intramammary disease in sheep production systems. Expenses associated with compromised animal performance, therapeutic interventions, and decreased ewe longevity make efforts to minimize its prevalence worthwhile.

  4. A risk-oriented evaluation of biofilm and other influencing factors on biological quality of drinking water for dairy cows

    • Journal of Animal Science
    • Despite the importance of livestock drinking water quality on animal physiology, welfare, and performance, influences such as biofilm formation on trough surfaces on microbial water quality are rarely researched. The objective of this study was to assess the microbial quality of water offered to lactating dairy cows and identify risk factors for poor water quality.
