During harvesting, processing and handling operations foods may become contaminated with a wide range of microorganisms. This paper is presented as a short survey of recent used laboratory methods for foods microbial pathogen detection, briefly summarizing rapid, specific and sensitive methods useful for foods testing based on immunochemical and nucleic acid technologies. As the world becomes more concerned with safe foods, the demand for rapid detecting will only increase.
