Advanced Technologies in Detecting and Controlling Foodborne Pathogens

Dear Colleagues,

Foodborne pathogens constitute a critical public health concern, with the potential to significantly affect public health and healthcare systems. As such, substantial efforts are required to detect and control foodborne pathogens throughout the food supply chain. In recent years, advanced physical, chemical, and biological technologies have been developed and implemented to ensure food safety. Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding and in-depth analysis of the mechanisms involved in these approaches are essential to facilitate their industrial-scale application, thereby improving both the safety and quality of food products. This Special Issue aims to explore the most recent technological advancements and their applications in the detection and control of foodborne pathogens and discuss their future implementation.
