Among the foodborne microorganisms, bacteria are the leading reason for serious outbreaks and lead to spread the diseases irrespective of the region. Therefore, immediate detection has become an important issue to stop the spread of the bacterial pathogens before it leads to serious outbreaks. In recent years, rapid advances in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology gained importance as a dominant technology for fabricating microdevices to use in biomedical research and diagnosis. This technology is consistent, manufacturable, requires low power, low cost, and, perhaps most importantly, scalable. In this feature article, we discuss the recent progresses of CMOS image sensors in the detection foodborne bacterial pathogens. In addition, this article presents and discusses trends in designing of CMOS sensors along with the challenges and future prospective of these sensors to detect foodborne bacterial pathogens. In conclusion, these methods of pathogen detection would offer a great commercial advantage than other methods.

在食源性微生物中，细菌是造成严重疾病暴发的主要原因，并导致该病传播至各个地区。因此，立即检测已成为在引起严重疾病爆发之前阻止细菌病原体传播的重要问题。近年来，互补金属氧化物半导体（CMOS）技术的迅速发展作为制造用于生物医学研究和诊断的微器件的主导技术变得越来越重要。该技术是一致的，可制造的，需要低功耗，低成本，并且最重要的是可扩展性。在这篇专题文章中，我们讨论了CMOS图像传感器在检测食源性细菌病原体中的最新进展。此外，本文介绍并讨论了CMOS传感器设计的趋势，以及这些传感器用于检测食源性细菌病原体的挑战和未来前景。总之，这些病原体检测方法将比其他方法具有巨大的商业优势。
