Abstract

Foodborne diseases caused by bacterial pathogens pose a widespread and growing threat to public health in the world. Rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria is of great importance to prevent foodborne diseases and ensure food safety. However, traditional detection methods are time-consuming, labour intensive and expensive. In recent years, many attempts have been made to develop alternative methods for bacterial detection. Biosensors integrated with molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) and various transducer platforms are among the most promising candidates for the detection of pathogenic bacteria in a highly sensitive, selective and ultra-rapid manner. In this review, we summarize the most recent advances in molecular imprinting for bacterial detection, introduce the underlying recognition mechanisms and highlight the applications of MIP-based biosensors. In addition, the challenges and future perspectives are discussed with the aim of accelerating the development of MIP-based biosensors and extending their applications.
