**6. Conclusion**

A plenty number of studies have been confirmed that foodborne pathogens of *Enterobacteriaceae* and their resistance genes can not only remain in animal husbandry and related environment but also transmitted to human beings through the food chain or other ways, causing a major threat to public health. Also, it has been highlighted how much important are novel technologies for the detection of foodborne pathogens (such as molecular marker-based methods, immunoaffinity-based detection, etc.). In addition, chemical/natural compounds or physical methods (such as UV-C and pulsed-light treatment, etc.) play key roles in the prevention of foodborne pathogen growth and diffusion. As one of the causes of foodborne diseases of global concern, foodborne pathogens should be controlled by countries and organizations around the world through the establishment of policies and food safety management systems.
