Because of the complexities of food analysis, conventional microbiological methods must
use timeconsuming enrichment steps for culturing viable bacterial cells in foods. With rapid …

Over the last fifty years, microbiologists have developed reliable culture-based techniques to
detect food borne pathogens. Although these are considered to be the “gold-standard,” they …

It is a public health imperative to have safe food and water across the population. Foodborne
infections are one of the primary causes of sickness and mortality in both developed and …

The detection of food-borne pathogens has traditionally involved time-and labor-intensive
enrichment and plating procedures. However, with the development of new diagnostic …

With continued development of novel molecular-based technologies for rapid, high-
throughput detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria, the future of conventional …

The detection and enumeration of microorganisms in food are an essential part of any
quality control or food safety plan. Traditional methods of detecting foodborne pathogenic …

Microbiological analysis of food traditionally involves examination of a representative
sample for the presence, numbers, and types of microorganisms and/or their products, and …

The development of novel and high-tech solutions for rapid, accurate, and non-laborious
microbial detection methods is imperative to improve the global food supply. Such solutions …

Food quality and safety depend on maintaining standards throughout the food chain, from
agricultural production and livestock, to processing, transport, and consumption …

Background Despite huge efforts to combat foodborne bacterial pathogens, the number of
foodborne infections remains high throughout the world. Culture-dependent gold standard …
