Abstract:Foodborne pathogens are among the most significant contributors to food safety incidents, severely hindering the sustainable development of the food industry. Developing rapid detection methods with high sensitivity, low cost, and strong specificity is critical for ensuring food safety and advancing the food industry. Conventional detection methods are limited by low sensitivity, prolonged analysis time, complex procedures, and inadequate specificity. This review summarizes the latest research advances in the field of foodborne pathogen detection in recent years, with a focus on immunoassay techniques, molecular biology detection technologies, and the most recent research achievements in biosensor detection. It also discusses the integration of various technologies to develop novel rapid detection methods and their applications in foodborne pathogen detection. Advances in science and technology will enable future rapid detection methods to leverage multidisciplinary integration, facilitating convenient and intelligent pathogen monitoring. These advancements are expected to yield more effective detection tools and preventive strategies for food safety management and public health protection.
