Abstract

• A broad-spectrum bacterial enrichment strategy was developed using antimicrobial peptide-modified magnetic beads (MBs@AMP). • The method combined with mPCR simultaneously detects five foodborne pathogens in fruit juice samples. • This approach eliminates food matrix interference and improves detection sensitivity by 100-fold compared to conventional PCR.
