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. Draft Genome Sequences of 20 Clostridium botulinum Type A Isolates from Foodborne Botulism Outbreaks

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements, Ahead of Print. Here, we present 20 draft genome sequences of Clostridium botulinum type A isolates originating from foodborne outbreaks in the United States and Ethiopia. Publicly available genomes enhance our understanding of C. botulinum genomics and are an asset in bioterrorism preparedness.

  2. Draft Genome Sequence of Clostridium botulinum Subtype bont/A5(B2′)

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements, Ahead of Print. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Clostridium botulinum strain CDC76130, which harbors a rare botulinum toxin gene (bont) complex arrangement of bont/A5 and truncated bont/B2 within the same ha toxin gene cluster.

  3. Draft Genome Sequences of Two Clostridium botulinum Group II Strains Carrying Phage-Like Plasmids

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements, Ahead of Print. Clostridium botulinum is responsible for botulism, a potentially lethal foodborne intoxication. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of C. botulinum group II strains 202F (serotype F) and Hazen (serotype E). The genomes share many similarities, including multiple mobile genetic elements.

  4. Complete Genome Sequence of Clostridium botulinum CJ0611A1, a Type A(B) Isolate Associated with an International Outbreak of Botulism from Commercial Carrot Juice

    • Microbiology Resource Announcements

    • We report the complete genome (3.9-Mb chromosome, 5.9-kb plasmid) of Clostridium botulinum CJ0611A1, a type A(B) strain isolated from carrot juice distributed in Canada and linked to an international 2006 foodborne botulism outbreak. This strain encodes a full-length bont/A1 gene and a truncated bont/B gene.
