Research progress of molecular biological methods for detecting coliforms
Coliforms serve as one of vital indicators for evaluating hygiene quality and are widely regarded as a necessary inspection item.Their detection results have been extensively applied in various fields,including food hygiene supervision,production process monitoring,disinfection effectiveness assessment,and public place hygiene monitoring.Traditional detection method,such as the cultivation method,is recognized as the gold standard.However,the cultivation method is time-consum-ing and difficult to meet the needs of rapid detection.Therefore,it is necessary to study on rapid detection methods of col-iforms.This article summarizes the molecular biological detection methods of coliforms in recent years,so as to provide ref-erence for future research on rapid detection methods.
