Abstract

Food safety issues represent a global challenge.Among these, foodborne diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria occur frequently and have garnered significant attention from public health and food safety authorities worldwide.Rapid and accurate detection of foodborne pathogens is considered the most effective strategy to prevent outbreaks of foodborne diseases.However, traditional detection methods are time-consuming and heavily reliant on substantial human and material resources, highlighting the need for more sensitive and specific approaches for detecting foodborne pathogens.Nanomaterials, with their advantages of rapid response, high sensitivity, low cost, and ease of use, have drawn extensive interest in rapid pathogen detection.Therefore, the characteristics of several commonly used nanomaterials and their specific application in the foodborne pathogens are reviewed, and the development directions of nanoparticles in the foodborne pathogens field are discussed.
