Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the acceleration of economic globalization, food safety has become a worldwide public health hotspot. Foodborne pathogens, which cause great harm to human health and are a major hidden danger to food safety, are the primary cause of foodborne diseases and do not decrease or disappear with economic development and technological progress. Moreover, worldwide foodborne incidents occur frequently and have not been effectively controlled, indicating the food safety situation is still poor. In the 21st century, some rapid detection technologies for pathogenic microorganisms have been developed, such as radioimmunoassay and enzyme, fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and bioluminescence immunoassays in immunology; nuclear acid probes; and polymerase chain reaction detection techniques. The development of relevant technologies provides an important tool for controlling the harm posed by foodborne pathogens, and this Special Issue therefore aims to present selected contributions on advances in the monitoring and analysis of foodborne pathogens by various advanced strategies.
