Foodborne illness outbreaks caused by the consumption of food contaminated with harmful bacteria has drastically increased in the past decades. Therefore, detection of harmful bacteria in the food has become an important factor for the recognition and prevention of problems associated with food safety and public health. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most commonly isolated foodborne pathogen and it is considered as a major cause of foodborne illnesses worldwide. A number of different methods have been developed for the detection and identification of S. aureus in food samples. However, some of these methods are laborious and time-consuming and are not suitable for on-site applications. Therefore, it is highly important to develop rapid and more approachable detection methods. In the last decade, biosensors have gained popularity as an attractive alternative method and now considered as one of most rapid and on-site applicable methods. An overview of the biosensor based methods used for the detection of S. aureus is presented herein. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art biosensor methods towards the detection and quantification of S. aureus, and discusses the most commonly used biosensor methods based on the transducing mode, such as electrochemical, optical, and mass-based biosensors.

在过去的几十年中，由于食用受有害细菌污染的食物而引起的食源性疾病暴发急剧增加。因此，食品中有害细菌的检测已成为认识和预防与食品安全和公共卫生有关的问题的重要因素。金黄色葡萄球菌是最常见的食源性病原体之一，被认为是全世界食源性疾病的主要原因。已经开发出许多不同的方法来检测和鉴定金黄色葡萄球菌。在食物样本中。然而，这些方法中的一些费力且费时，并且不适用于现场应用。因此，开发快速，更平易近人的检测方法非常重要。在过去的十年中，生物传感器作为一种有吸引力的替代方法而受到欢迎，现在被认为是最快速和现场可应用的方法之一。本文概述了用于检测金黄色葡萄球菌的基于生物传感器的方法。本文将重点介绍用于金黄色葡萄球菌检测和定量的最新生物传感器方法，并讨论基于转导模式的最常用生物传感器方法，例如电化学，光学和基于质量的生物传感器。
