Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tomi Obe's research focuses on controlling Salmonella in poultry production. His work investigates strategies for reducing Salmonella contamination from the farm to the processing plant, examining factors such as antimicrobial tolerance, biofilm formation, and molecular characteristics of Salmonella isolates. Obe has published on the combined quantification and deep serotyping for Salmonella risk profiling in broiler flocks and the competitive advantages between different Salmonella strains during enrichment processes. His research also explores environmental monitoring in food manufacturing and multi-hurdle control strategies for Salmonella across the poultry production continuum.

Obe's scholarship includes 25 publications with 375 citations and an h-index of 10. He has collaborated with researchers including Toluwanimi Ogundipe, C.M. Owens, Philip G. Crandall, and Tanmaie Kalapala, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville or the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
