Food contamination with non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) presents a significant public health risk, underscoring the critical need for rigorous food safety measures throughout production, distribution, preparation, and consumption stages. Conventional diagnostic strategies are time-consuming labor-intensive thus sub-optimal throughput NTS detection. Bacteriophages (phages) highly specialized bacterial viruses exhibit extreme specificity their hosts. This organic phage/bacterial interaction provides an invaluable tool that can potentially replace or complement existing S. enterica detection methods. Here, we explored work in this area reviewed data from PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, ScienceDirect up to 4 November 2024. Thirty-five studies were selected 607 retrieved articles using JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist ensure quality. enrichment, rapid detection, effective recovery diverse sources various serovars targeted. Utilizing phages as bio-probes alongside lateral flow immunoassays, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, electrochemistry assays enabled sensitive of NTS, achieving limits low 7 8 CFU/mL within 30 min. Balancing sensitivity analysis time is essential. Further research development will be pivotal overcoming challenges maximizing efficiency phage-based optimal safety.
