The invention discloses a detection kit of 16 food born pathogenic bacteria. The detection kit comprises a PCR amplification reagent and reference reagents; the PCR amplification reagent is composed of PCR buffer solution A, enzyme system B, and a primer probe mixed solution of the 16 food-borne pathogenic bacteria; the reference reagents are mainly composed of a negative control and a positive control; the PCR buffer solution A contains 5*Buffer, 25mM dN(U)TPs; the enzyme system B is mainly composed of HotStart Hi Taq DNA polymerase and UNG anti-pollution enzyme; the primer probe mixed solution of the 16 food-borne pathogenic bacteria contains a mixed solution of detection primer probes of salmonella, Shigella, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterotoxigenic E. coli, enteroinvasive escherichia coli, adherent escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus, listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus Cereus, campylobacter jejuni, vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae group O1, Vibrio cholerae group O139, Yersinia enterocolitica, and enterobacter sakazakii. The detection kit is high in detection sensitivity, is simple, and is convenient.
