description <i>Shigella</i> and <i>Bacillus cereus</i> are two common foodborne pathogens that cause intestinal diseases and seriously affect human life and health. Traditional microbiological culture methods are time-consuming and laborious, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods rely on expensive thermal cyclers and lengthy reaction times. In this study, on the basis of the specific gene <i>ipaH7</i> of <i>Shigella</i> and the virulence gene <i>nheABC</i> of <i>B. cereus</i>, a duplex detection system was established for the first time by using the recombinase polymerase amplification technique (D-RPA). After optimization, D-RPA could be effectively amplified at 42 °C for 25 min with excellent specificity, and the detection limits of D-RPA for <i>Shigella</i> and <i>B. cereus</i> in artificially contaminated samples were 2.7 × 10<sup>1</sup> and 5.2 × 10<sup>2</sup> CFU/mL, respectively. This study provides a certain research basis for multiple detection with RPA, an isothermal amplification technology. Furthermore, it lays a good foundation for high-throughput rapid detection of foodborne pathogens.
