Proteomic and Molecular Analysis of Methicillin Resistance and Selected Toxigenic genes in Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp From Food and Animal Sources.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)While most coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) are apathogenic, recent evidence suggests some food and animal derived CNS isolates may carry and express virulence factors including classical enterotoxins, toxic shock ... -
Development of Real-Time PCR Method for Detection, Identification and Quantification of Five Different Fusarium Species
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease affecting cereal crops worldwide. FHB involves multiple Fusarium species that create food safety concerns by producing mycotoxins such as trichothecenes, zearalenone and ... -
An In-vitro Co-Culture Model to Study the Disruption of the Blood Brain Barrier by Cronobacter sakazakii. (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii)
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Cronobacter spp. (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) is an opportunistic pathogen associated with contaminated powdered infant formula. It causes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis, which can develop into severe ... -
Antimicrobial Resistance and Presence of Integrons in Salmonella Isolated from Animals and Humans in the United States of America and Uganda
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Salmonella has been cited as one of the leading causes of food borne illness world wide and in the United States (US), as well as an indicator organism for studying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends. The objective ... -
Relatedness ofisolates of a Novel Genus, Cronobacter, Formerly Known as Enterobacter sakazakii
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Members of the genus Cronobacter were once classified as Enterobacter sakazakii. These bacteria are opportunistic pathogens that are associated with necrotizing enteritis, sepsis and meningitis in neonatal or low-birth-weight ... -
Survey of Claviceps purpurea and Fusarium Toxins in Spring Wheat and Fungicide Efficacy on Ergot Sclerotia, Alkaloid Content, and Saprophytic Fusarium Associated Toxins
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Fusarium head blight (FHB) and ergot of the claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. have adverse effects on grain quality and human and animal health. Each year, Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat samples are collected at harvest to survey ... -
Strategies to Inhibit the Formation of 3-Monochloropropane Diol During Deep-Fat Frying
(North Dakota State University, 2020)3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) and glycidol are the most commonly occurring group of thermal process contaminants which are considered as “possible human carcinogen” and “probably ... -
Quantitative Analysis for Measuring Lower Levels of Fusarium Mycotoxins in Wheat and Barley Using High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
(North Dakota State University, 2020)This project involved the application of Quadrupole Time of Flight (QTOF) technology in quantitating the low concentrations of multiple Fusarium mycotoxins in barley and wheat, also focused on simplified sample extraction ... -
Growth of Fusarium graminearum and Production of Trichothecenes During the Malting of Winter Rye and Triticale
(North Dakota State University, 2019)There is growing interest in malting and brewing with rye. However, previous research has shown a propensity for the development of deoxynivalenol (DON) in rye malts, even when levels on the grain is low. The main objective ... -
Compensation for the Effectiveness of Risk Mitigation Strategies for Fusarium Head Blight(FHB) and Deoxynivalenol(DON)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Food safety related problems are one of the biggest challenges worldwide. DON is produced by Fusarium species which causes the well-known Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat and barley. FHB outbreaks have led to variability ... -
The Impact of Bacterial Spoilage and Foodborne Pathogens on Beef Industry and Application of Antimicrobial Interventions
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The beef industry continues to face concerns regarding the hygiene and the safety of its products. A wide range of microorganisms from various sources can grow on meat surfaces that are rich in fluid and nutrients. This ... -
High Pressure Processing and Nisin as Possible Nonthermal Treatments for Control of Listeria and Impact on Quality Attributes in Cold Smoked Pacific Sockeye Salmon
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Cold smoked salmon products are considered high risk for Listeria monocytogenes contamination by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to lack of validated kill step. Currently, there are no commercialized post-packaging ... -
A Quantitative Cost Model of HACCP Implementation
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Foodbome illness is an important public health problem in the United States. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is widely acknowledged as an effective method to ensure product quality and control foodbome ... -
Foreign Material Identification and Removal in the Food Safety Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Changes in the food industry including the mass production in response to the globalization of the food chain have led to additional food safety and quality challenges for the food industry. One aspect of these challenges ... -
Listeria Monocytogenes in the Retail Food Service Environment
