Food safety is a critical global priority, as foodborne diseases continue to pose significant public health challenges. Ensuring food safety requires robust food hygiene practices, including effective hazard management strategies. A key tool for managing microbial risks is microbial risk assessment (MRA), which involves hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Various MRA approaches — qualitative, semiquantitative, and quantitative — are employed depending on available data and complexity. Predictive microbiology, utilizing mathematical models, plays a vital role in simulating microbial behavior under different food conditions, enhancing risk predictions. Advances in molecular technologies, such as multi-omics and metagenomics, alongside rapid detection methods, offer new insights into microbial behavior and improve detection accuracy. Risk ranking tools enable targeted interventions by comparing microbial hazards across different food-pathogen scenarios. Integrating these strategies will improve food safety, reduce the burden of foodborne illnesses, and enhance public health globally.

食品安全是一个关键的全球优先事项，因为食源性疾病继续构成重大的公共卫生挑战。确保食品安全需要强有力的食品卫生实践，包括有效的危害管理战略。微生物风险评估（MRA）是管理微生物风险的一个关键工具，它包括危害识别、危害表征、暴露评估和风险表征。不同的MRA方法——定性的、半定量的和定量的——取决于可用的数据和复杂性。预测微生物学利用数学模型，在模拟不同食物条件下微生物的行为，增强风险预测方面起着至关重要的作用。分子技术的进步，如多组学和宏基因组学，以及快速检测方法，为研究微生物行为提供了新的见解，提高了检测精度。风险排序工具通过比较不同食物病原体情况下的微生物危害，实现有针对性的干预。综合这些战略将改善食品安全，减轻食源性疾病负担，并加强全球公共卫生。

The widespread use of chlorine disinfectants, particularly in the food industry, has raised concerns about the emergence of chlorine-resistant bacteria, which pose significant risks to food safety and public health. This review explores current perspectives on the definitions of chlorine susceptibility, tolerance, and resistance. It further summarizes the identification methods used to evaluate bacterial tolerance and resistance. Additionally, the review examines key mechanisms of bacterial adaptation, including efflux pumps, flagellar modifications, and small RNA regulators, which enhance bacterial survival under chlorine stress. By addressing gaps in standardized definitions and methodologies, this review offers valuable insights for improving the efficacy of chlorine disinfectants and mitigating the risks associated with chlorine-tolerant bacteria.

氯消毒剂的广泛使用，特别是在食品工业中，引起了人们对氯耐药细菌出现的担忧，这对食品安全和公众健康构成重大风险。本文综述了目前对氯敏感性、耐受性和耐药定义的看法。进一步总结了评价细菌耐受性和耐药性的鉴定方法。此外，本文还探讨了细菌适应的关键机制，包括外排泵、鞭毛修饰和小RNA调节因子，这些机制可以提高细菌在氯胁迫下的存活率。通过解决标准化定义和方法上的差距，本综述为提高氯消毒剂的功效和减轻与耐氯细菌相关的风险提供了有价值的见解。
