Many different foodborne diseases have been described. For example, Shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus and Norwalk virus were shown as a unwashed hands microorganisms, but pathogen Campylobacter and Escherichia coli were named as raw and undercooked meat and poultry or raw milk and untreated water born bacteria. However, two of them: Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica are know...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a pathogen that primarily affects the respiratory system, leading to upper and lower tract infections. Children, individuals aged 60 above, with impaired immune systems are more susceptible developing RSV infections (LRTIs), which can result in fatalities some instances. Symptoms of LRTI include shortness breath, wheezing, pneumonia, bronchiolitis. Current m...

In food sector, there is a huge demand for rapid, reliable, user & eco-friendly biosensors to analyse the quality and safety of food products. Biosensor based methodology depends upon the recognition of a specific antigens or receptors by corresponding antibodies, aptamers or high-affinity ligands. The first scientifically commercialised sensors were the electrochemical sensors used for the ana...

Despite the recent advances in food pathogen detection, there still exist many challenges and opportunities to improve the current technology. Techniques such as immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have paved the way for rapid and sensitive detection of foodborne pathogens, and advances in nanobiotechnology have allowed for miniaturization of devices. Collaborati...

The aim of this study is to examine the possibility to inactivate food pathogen Listeria monocytogenes by nonthermal antimicrobial treatment – photosensitization. L. monocytogenes was incubated with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) (7.5 mM) for 0–2 h to produce endogenous photosensitizers and then illuminated with visible light. The LED-based light source used for the illumination of L. monocytogene...

A paramount and alluring sphere of research, now-a-days, is food analysis, because of the breakneck augmentation of food enterprise and highly hightened maneuverability of today's populations. The management of food quality is very indispensable both for consumer safeguard as well as the food corporations. The biosensors' application in the field of food analysis is quite propitious for the rev...
