Abstract

Conventional methods of pathogen identification have often depended on the identification of disease symptoms, isolation, and culturing of the organisms, and identification by morphology and biochemical tests. The major limitations of these culture-based morphological approaches, however, are the reliance on the ability of the organism to be cultured, the time-consuming nature, and requirement of extensive taxonomic expertise. The use of molecular methods can circumvent many of these shortcomings. Accordingly, there have been significant developments in the area of molecular detection of bacterial pathogens in the last 3 decades. We report here a brief overview of the molecular detection methods applicable to microbes from food.
