Application of CRISPR-Cas12a in the detection of foodborne pathogens

Rapid detection methods for foodborne pathogens are important for efficient prevention and control of foodborne diseases. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeatsCRISPR (CRISPR) and its associated proteins constitute the CRISPR-Cas system, a powerful gene editing tool, which has become a hot spot for research on rapid detection methods based on its specific recognition and cleavage activity of target nucleic acids when applied to the detection of foodborne pathogens. CRISPR-Cas12a detection technology has the advantages of high specificity and sensitivity, and has great application in the detection of foodborne pathogens. This paper introduced the mechanism of action of CRISPR-Cas12a, focused on reviewing the research progress of CRISPR-Cas12a combined with various nucleic acid amplification techniques in the detection of foodborne pathogens, further discussed the problems and shortcomings of CRISPR-Cas12a in pathogens detection, and provided an outlook on the future research prospects. In order to provide a reference and basis for better development of accurate, rapid and sensitive detection techniques for foodborne pathogens.
