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.

  4. Development and evaluation of latex agglutination tests for the detection of human antibodies to the lipopolysaccharides of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) serogroups O157 and non-O157

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods
    • Publication date: September 2017
      , Volume 140

      Author(s): Waldemar Rastawicki, Anna Chróst, Kornelia Gielarowiec

      Latex agglutination tests (LAT) were developed and evaluated for the rapid detection of LPS antibodies against E. coli serogroup O157, O26, O104, O111 and O145. The latex tests have been proved to be sensitive, fast, easy-to-perform and cost-efficient tools for the screening serodiagnosis of VTEC infections causing haemolytic-uraemic syndrome.
