Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global burden of Salmonella infections continues to pose a significant public health challenge, causing further worry due to the continuous spread of multidrug-resistant strains. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advances in Salmonella epidemiology, antibiotic resistance, and genomics, three critical areas shaping our understanding and management of this foodborne pathogen. The epidemiology of Salmonella remains a complex and evolving field, influenced by changing food production systems, global trade, and environmental factors. Additionally, the rise of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella strains, exacerbated by the overuse of antimicrobials in both human medicine and agriculture, is a growing concern.

We invite you to submit your latest research on the current trends in Salmonella transmission, emerging serotypes, outbreaks linked to foodborne transmission, genetic drivers of resistance, and other topics providing a comprehensive view of Salmonella, highlighting both the progress which has been made and the challenges which remain in controlling this significant pathogen.
