This paper presents a comprehensive overview of their transmission through the food chain, resistance profiles, and modern strategies for detection and control. Particular empha- sis is placed on advanced diagnostic approaches, including PCR-based techniques, isother- mal amplification, and nanotechnology-driven methods. Control interventions ranging from physical decontamination (e.g., irradiation, pulsed light) to the use of natural antimicrobials such as bacteriophages and algal compounds are also discussed. The review underlines the necessity of integrated approaches in reducing the prevalence of foodborne pathogens and improving public health outcomes. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode info:eu-repo/semantics/review 2025-12-01 application/pdf 447432 bytes Enterobacteriaceae in the food chain ‒ modern strategies for detection and control
