Microorganisms . 2024 May; 12(5). PMID: 38792677
is a foodborne parasite that causes cyclosporiasis, an enteric illness in humans. Genotyping methods are used to genetically discriminate between specimens from cyclosporiasis cases and can complement source attribution investigations...

Leonard S, Mammel M, Gharizadeh B, Almeria S, Ma Z, Lipman D, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2023 Jul; 14:1212863. PMID: 37396378
Outbreaks of cyclosporiasis, an enteric illness caused by the parasite , have been associated with consumption of various types of fresh produce. Although a method is in use for genotyping...

Brandl M, Mammel M, Simko I, Richter T, Gebru S, Leonard S
Food Microbiol . 2023 Apr; 113:104260. PMID: 37098420
Lettuce is associated with seasonal outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections. Little is known about how various biotic and abiotic factors affect the lettuce microbiome, which in turn...

Balan K, Mammel M, Lipman D, Babu U, Harrison L, Almeria S, et al.
J Food Prot . 2023 Mar; 86(2):100037. PMID: 36916572
Regulatory methods for detection of the foodborne protozoan parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis must be specific and sensitive. To that end, we designed and evaluated (in a single laboratory validation) a novel...

Enam S, Cherry J, Leonard S, Zheludev I, Lipman D, Fire A
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2022 Dec; 89(1):e0167022. PMID: 36519847
Metagenomic sequencing is a swift and powerful tool to ascertain the presence of an organism of interest in a sample. However, sequencing coverage of the organism of interest can be...

Leonard S, Simko I, Mammel M, Richter T, Brandl M
Environ Microbiome . 2021 Dec; 16(1):25. PMID: 34930479
Background: Lettuce is linked to recurrent outbreaks of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections, the seasonality of which remains unresolved. Infections have occurred largely from processed lettuce, which undergoes substantial...

Front Cell Infect Microbiol . 2020 Nov; 10:575630. PMID: 33194815
Ingestion of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) can result in a range of illness severity from asymptomatic to hemorrhagic colitis and death; thus risk assessment of STEC strains for human pathogenicity is...
