Abstract
The lateral flow assay (LFA) provides critical technical support for rapid, low-cost, on-site quantitative detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria. This article reviews common strategies for enriching pathogenic bacteria in food matrices and explains the fundamental principles of detecting foodborne pathogenic bacteria using LFA. Furthermore, the article summarizes the quantitative LFA platform for detecting foodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as colorimetry, fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and photothermal effect methods (PTE), along with their recent advancements in bacterial quantification. Finally, the future prospects and challenges of LFA for foodborne pathogenic bacteria detection are discussed. The construction of a standardized production system, the development of low-cost and high-stability materials, the optimization of regulatory pathways, and the innovation of portable intelligent reading devices are expected to promote the large-scale application of LFA in on-site detection and point-of-care diagnosis of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.
