Special Issue Information
The aim of this Special Issue is to present a collection of articles that provide an up-to-date view of the environmental survival, persistence, and antimicrobial resistance associated with Salmonella infections.
With the advent of metagenomics and genome sequencing of isolates, the typing of Salmonella is becoming more precise. This allows the comparison of strain types found in different niches and the spread of outbreak strains. The ability to survive in harsh environments is a major property allowing the dissemination of Salmonella, and as antibiotic resistance expands, the strains in which resistance is carried, disseminated, and transmitted from person to person is key.
Articles are encouraged that fit one or more of these areas:
- Survival: Which Salmonella are found where, including strains of Salmonella found in different environments, particularly from LMICs and/or strains that spread widely.
- Persistence: How Salmonella persist in the gut or the environment. Descriptions of the genes, plasmids, mobile genetic elements involved, and/or the molecular mechanisms (including biofilm formation) underlying survival.
- Resistance: Reports of AMR in clinically important Salmonella and/or environmental reservoirs

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
