Journal ArticleDOI
Porphyromonas gingivalis infection during pregnancy increases maternal tumor necrosis factor alpha, suppresses maternal interleukin-10, and enhances fetal growth restriction and resorption in mice.
Dongming Lin,Mary Alice Smith,Catherine Champagne,John R. Elter,James D. Beck,Steven Offenbacher +5 more
TL;DR: P. gingivalis-induced murine FGR is associated with systemic dissemination of the organism and activated maternal immune and inflammatory responses and serum immunoglobulin G levels were significantly elevated in dams with FGR fetuses compared to dams with normal fetuses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of clove (Syzgium aromaticum) oil in inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes on chicken frankfurters
TL;DR: Depending on the sensory considerations, the addition of clove oil to frankfurters may be an effective strategy to control L. monocytogenes in chicken frankfurter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porphyromonas gingivalis Infection in Pregnant Mice Is Associated with Placental Dissemination, an Increase in the Placental Th1/Th2 Cytokine Ratio, and Fetal Growth Restriction
Dongming Lin,Mary Alice Smith,John R. Elter,Catherine Champagne,Christine Lynn Downey,James M. Beck,Steven Offenbacher +6 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that, within each litter there is placenta-specific translocation of P. gingivalis that results in growth restriction of the targeted fetus, which is associated with a shift in the placental Th1/Th2 cytokine balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preimplantation exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) affects embryo transport, preimplantation embryo development, and uterine receptivity in mice
TL;DR: The adverse effects of high doses of BPA on processes critical for embryo implantation: embryo transport, preimplantation embryo development, and establishment of uterine receptivity are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of six dose-response models for use with food-borne pathogens.
David L. Holcomb,Mary Alice Smith,Mary Alice Smith,Glenn O. Ware,Yen-Con Hung,Robert E. Brackett,Michael P. Doyle +6 more
TL;DR: To compare dose-response models for food-borne pathogens and determine which models were most appropriate for a range of pathogens, six statistical models were proposed and the Weibull-gamma was the only model capable of fitting all the data sets examined using the maximum likelihood estimation for comparisons.
