    Food contaminants pose a serious challenge to public health and the food industry, and there is an urgent need to develop more advanced detection techniques and updated prevention strategies. Although the traditional culture technology has played an important role in the detection of food contaminants, there are obvious limitations in the detection speed, sensitivity and specificity. With the increasing expansion of global food trade, the growing production scale of food enterprises, and the increasing attention of the public to food safety, food safety has become a hot topic around the world. Food contaminants are mainly divided into chemical and biological categories, including but not limited to pesticide and veterinary drug residues, heavy metal ions, abused food additives, foodborne pathogens and mycotoxins. In recent years, with the rapid development of cutting-edge technologies such as molecular biology technology, biosensors, nanotechnology and advanced imaging technology, these innovative methods are gradually overcoming the limitations of traditional detection methods. This paper discussed the principles, advantages and limitations of these innovative detection technologies in depth, and reviewed the latest research progress in the field of food detection. By comparing different detection methods, this paper aims to provide guidance for selecting suitable detection technology to achieve rapid and accurate detection and analysis of food contaminants.

    Objective To explore the pathogenic microbial detection results and drug susceptibility results of children with bacterial diarrhea after the collection of stool samples. Methods From April 2020 to June 2023,170 children with bacterial diarrhea participated in the study. The family members were informed about the study, and assisted the children to complete the collection of stool specimens. All the specimens were sent to the laboratory for pathogen culture, counted the distribution of pathogens, and analyzed the drug resistance of pathogens. Results 170 stool samples isolated 122 pathogenic strains, The detection rate of gram-negative bacteria was 76.23%, mainly Salmonella (27.87%), diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (21.31%), Shigella (21.31%); The detection rate of gram-positive bacteria was 23.77%, mainly Staphylococcus aureus (22.95%); Most resistance to tetracycline (41.18%), ciprofloxacin (38.24%), ampicillin (35.29%), The greatest resistance to ciprofloxacin (46.15%), tetracycline (38.46%), of ciprofloxacin (53.85%), tetracycline (46.15%), Staphylococcus aureus had to clindamycin (53.57%) and penicillin (53.57%). Conclusion Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Shigella and Staphylococcus aureus are the main causes of bacterial diarrhea in children.
