SPRINGERBRIEFS IN FOOD HEALTH AND NUTRITION M...

This is a review of recent advances on the use of DNA microarray for diagnosing foodborne
pathogens. Rapid detection and characterization of foodborne pathogens is critical for food
safety. Many relevant technologies have been intensively developed to date. DNA microarray
technology offers a new way to food safety involving pathogen detection and characterization.
DNA microarray can be used for detection and characterization of pathogens by analyzing
hybridization patterns between capture probes and nucleic acids isolated from food samples or
bacteria. It allows more rapid  accurate  and cost-effective detection of pathogens compared
with traditional approaches of cultivation or immuno-assays. The application of DNA microarrays
to different foodborne bacteria  such as Campylobacter  Salmonella  Listeria monocytogenes  or
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli  will improve their rapid identification and
characterization of their genetic traits (e.g.  antimicrobial resistance  virulence). As
bacterial foodborne diseases are posing more serious threats to public healthcare  development
of rapid and accurate methods for pathogen detection and characterization is critical to their
proper control at the earliest time.
