*Salmonella* is a Gram-negative bacterium and a member of the *Enterobacteriaceae*family that causes infections in humans and animals, making it one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Since its discovery in the late 1800s, significant progress has been made in the understanding of its genetics, classification, pathogenesis, detection, prevention, control, and treatment. Numerous reviews and chapters on *Salmonella* have been published, but some gaps remain to be addressed. This book includes seven chapters that focus on the low-cost prevention, control, and treatment of salmonellosis in developing countries. It begins with a brief review of *Salmonella*, followed by chapters on the transmission of the organism in food and companion animals relevant to the One Health approach, CRISPR-Cas systems in *Salmonella* for pathogen typing in diagnosis and surveillance, the low-cost control of *Salmonella* using solar disinfection of water in resource-limiting communities, and transmission and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in *Salmonella* across the One Health sector. This book also introduces a new concept of AMR reversal using traditional Chinese medicine. The information provided in this book will encourage *Salmonella* researchers, medical professionals, and students to further enhance their own research and education as well as encourage new researchers to include *Salmonella* in their future research initiatives.
