DETECTION OF FOODBORNE BACTERIAL PATHOGENS USING BACTERIOPHAGE

Abstract

Foodborne infections continue to pose a hazard to public health, necessitating the development of innovative technologies for their detection. Bacteriophages are great tools for bacterial detection due to their high target cell selectivity, intrinsic signal-amplifying capabilities, simple and affordable manufacturing. This overview outlines the ways in which bacteriophages have been used to accomplish and facilitate precise bacterial identification.
