Over the past-decade, agricultural products (such as vegetables and fruits) have been reported as the major vehicles for foodborne diseases, which are limiting food resources. The spread of infectious diseases due to foodborne pathogens poses a global threat to human health and the economy. The accurate and timely detection of infectious disease and of causative pathogens is crucial in the prevention and treatment of disease. Negligence in the detection of pathogenic substances can be catastrophic and lead to a pandemic. Despite the revolution in health diagnostics, much attention has been paid to the agro-food sector regarding the detection of food contaminants (such as pathogens). The conventional analytical techniques for pathogen detection are reliable and still in operation. However, laborious procedures and time-consuming detection via these approaches emphasize the need for simple, easy-to-use, and affordable detection techniques. The rapid detection of pathogens from food is essential to avoid the morbidity and mortality originating from the suboptimal nature of empiric pathogen treatment. This review critically discusses both the conventional and emerging bio-molecular approaches for pathogen detection in agro-food.
在过去的十年中，农产品（如蔬菜和水果）已被报道为食源性疾病的主要载体，这限制了食物资源的供应。食源性病原体传播的传染病对人类健康和经济构成了全球性威胁。传染病和病原体的准确和及时检测对于疾病的预防和治疗至关重要。对致病物质检测的疏忽可能是灾难性的，并导致大流行。尽管在健康诊断方面发生了革命性变化，但在检测食品污染物（如病原体）方面，农业食品部门仍受到高度关注。传统的病原体检测分析技术是可靠的，并且仍在使用中。然而，这些方法繁琐的程序和耗时的检测强调了对简单、易用和负担得起的检测技术的需求。从食物中快速检测病原体对于避免因经验性病原体治疗效果不佳而导致的发病率和死亡率至关重要。本文批判性地讨论了农业食品中用于病原体检测的传统和新兴生物分子方法。
