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. I2/I-mediated fluorescence quenching of an Ag+-doped gold nanocluster-based immunoassay for sensitive detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in milk

    • Journal of Dairy Science
    • Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a type of hazardous bacteria in the field of food safety. A sensitive and effective method is urgently needed to detect it, avoiding enormous harm for the human health. In this study, we synthesized stable Ag+-doped gold nanoclusters (Ag-AuNC) with a fluorescence intensity 4.8 times stronger than that of AuNC.

  2. Real-time recombinase-aided amplification with improved propidium monoazide for the rapid detection of viable Escherichia coli O157:H7 in milk

    • Journal of Dairy Science
    • Escherichia coli O157:H7, the causative agent of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans, generates a effective harm to community health because of its high pathogenicity. A real-time recombinase-aided amplification (rRAA) is an emerging method for nucleic acid detection.

  3. Oral administration of lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli (serotype O111:B4) does not induce an effective systemic immune response in milk-fed Holstein calves

    • Journal of Dairy Science
    • It is well established that intravenous administration of lipopolysaccharides (LPS)—cell wall components from gram-negative bacteria—induce acute inflammatory responses in dairy calves, but the effect of oral administration of LPS to dairy calves is currently unknown.
