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. Harnessing diversity and antagonism within the pig skin microbiota to identify novel mediators of colonization resistance to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

    • mSphere

    • mSphere, Ahead of Print. The microbiota mediate multiple aspects of skin barrier function, including colonization resistance to pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus. The endogenous skin microbiota limits S. aureus colonization via competition and direct inhibition. Novel mechanisms of colonization resistance are promising therapeutic targets for drug-resistant infections, such as those caused by methicillin-resistant S.

  2. Penicillium molds impact the transcriptome and evolution of the cheese bacterium Staphylococcus equorum

    • mSphere

    • mSphere, Ahead of Print. The observation that Penicillium molds can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus was a catalyst for the antibiotic revolution. Considerable attention has been paid to purified Penicillium metabolites that inhibit bacteria, but little is known about how Penicillium species impact the ecology and evolution of bacteria in multispecies microbial communities.
