Abstract
Food safety is a severe problem facing the global public health system. Foodborne diseases caused by foodborne pathogens or their toxins are one of the main burdens of public health, which seriously hinder the global social and economic development. Therefore, the establishment of highly sensitive detection method is the primary task of prevention and control of foodborne pathogenic bacteria pollution. Traditional detection methods of pathogenic bacteria mainly rely on precision instruments, and these methods have high sensitivity and excellent accuracy, but time-consuming and tedious operation steps limit its application in on-site detection. Immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can solve the above problems to a certain extent, but the cost of obtaining antibodies is high, and PCR needs complex DNA extraction process. The emergence of aptamers has greatly overturned this detection limit. Aptamers are DNA or RNA sequences with a length of about 25–80 bases that bind to the targets with high affinity and specificity as antibodies, and it was obtained by the method called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). Aptamers can specifically bind to their target, in addition, they are more stable and easier to be prepared than antibodies, which make them widely used in the field of detection. So far, aptamer has been applied in various pathogen detection technologies, such as ELISA, fluorescence, electrochemical, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), which greatly promotes the development of rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria.
