The prevention of foodborne diseases is one of the main objectives of health authorities. To this effect, analytical techniques to detect and/or quantify the microbiological contamination of foods prior to their release onto the market are required. Management and control of foodborne pathogens have generally been based on conventional detection methodologies, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also involve high consumable materials costs. However, this management perspective has changed over time given that the food industry requires efficient analytical methods that obtain rapid results. This review covers the historical context of traditional methods and their passage in time through to the latest developments in rapid methods and their implementation in the food sector. Improvements and limitations in the detection of the most relevant pathogens are discussed from a perspective applicable to the current situation in the food industry. Considering efforts that are being done and recent developments, rapid and accurate methods already used in the food industry will be also affordable and portable and offer connectivity in near future, which improves decision-making and safety throughout the food chain.
预防食源性疾病是卫生部门的主要目标之一。为此，需要在食品投放市场之前使用分析技术来检测和/或定量微生物污染。食源性致病菌的管理和控制通常基于传统的检测方法，这些方法不仅耗时耗力，而且还涉及高耗材成本。然而，由于食品行业需要获得快速结果的高效分析方法，因此这种管理观点已经发生了变化。本综述涵盖了传统方法的历史背景及其随着时间的推移的发展，直至最新的快速方法的发展及其在食品领域的实施。从适用于食品工业当前情况的角度讨论了最相关病原体检测的改进和局限性。考虑到正在进行的努力和最新的发展，快速准确的方法已经在食品工业中得到应用，并且在不久的将来将具有成本效益、便携性和连接性，从而改善整个食物链中的决策制定和安全性。
