Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Non-typhoidal Salmonella (hereafter Salmonella) is a leading foodborne pathogen, causing 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis and 155,000 deaths globally each year. This pathogen can survive many physical and chemical treatments commonly employed in the food industry, thus compromising food safety. As such, it is crucial to explore the survival behaviors and mechanisms of Salmonella under food processing and preservation conditions. On the other hand, it is essential to develop novel antibacterial alternatives that possess excellent anti-Salmonella activity and a low capacity to induce bacterial resistance. Doing so, we can better prevent and control Salmonella in foods. We cordially invite submissions on the aforementioned topics to build a comprehensive body of knowledge to ensure food safety associated with Salmonella.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
