摘要

Listeria monocytogenes is an important pathogen responsible for major outbreaks worldwide, necessitating its early detection to prevent listeriosis. Hence, this study prioritized the early detection of L. monocytogenes using YOLOv5 deep-learning algorithms. An ultraviolet lamp was attached to the detection system to maintain a sterile environment. Images of L. monocytogenes grown on PALCAM agar were given as input for the bacterial predictions. Further, it was classified and regression layers for the identification of L. monocytogenes were constructed. A powerful LED light (optical-source) enhanced the performance of the detection. The effectiveness of the developed detection system was achieved with an average accuracy of ~ 94%. Perceptibly, the proposed system offers high accuracy, precision with cost-affordability and user-friendliness. The early detection of bacteria would improve food safety. In addition, exploitation of the developed system in healthcare industries may drastically reduce the endurance of resistant strains (misuse/overuse of inappropriate antibiotics), thus ensuring public health.
