Bacillus cereus is a common foodborne pathogen that can cause food poisoning in infants, students and adults by contaminating foods such as dairy products, rice, cooked meat and soybean products. The use of accurate and efficient Bacillus cereus detection method is the key to the prevention of foodborne Bacillus cereus disease and food safety quality control. Detection method of Bacillus cereus mainly including bacterial culture isolation and identification, immunological detection and nucleic acid detection. This paper summarizes the core technical features and application examples of each type of detection method , and provides ideas for the development and use of rapid detection method for foodborne Bacillus cereus.
