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. Oral Phages Prophylaxis against Mixed Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium Infections in Weaned Piglets

    • Veterinary Microbiology

    • Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium are the main pathogens of diarrhea in weaned piglets. The prevention of bacterial diarrhea in weaned piglets by phage is rarely reported. We conducted this study to evaluate the preventive effect of phages on mixed Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium infections in weaned piglets.

  2. O145 may be emerging as a predominant serogroup of Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) in China

    • Veterinary Microbiology

    • Among the numerous serotypes of Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), O1, O2 and O78 have long been considered the predominant serogroups. O145, a pivotal serogroup in non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, has never been considered an important serogroup among APEC. The prevalence of APEC O145 was determined from the results of molecular serogrouping based on 42 sequenced isolates from Jiangsu and Guangxi Provinces in China.
