Abstract

Salmonella is a prevalent foodborne infection that divides into daughter cells in response to environmental variables, resulting in phenotypic variations in gene expression, cell shape, and physiological characteristics of it. Because of this, Salmonella may not be promptly identified in a clinical context, which can easily result in the failure of clinical antimicrobial medication treatment. As antimicrobial medications become a greater concern, Salmonella also keeps developing its own adaptability and pathogenicity. Therefore, it is essential to carefully examine the traits and causes of Salmonella phenotypic heterogeneity to quickly comprehend the evolution of Salmonella heterogeneity throughout infection. This review primarily summarizes research on the phenotypic variability of Salmonella as well as offering an in-depth overview of its characteristic characteristics and processes. In terms of generation mechanism, host influence, strategy embodiment, and fundamental characteristics, the types of heterogeneity and the roles of heterogeneity are comprehensively examined. This review provides advances in the research of Salmonella heterogeneity and a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism behind the growth of resistance and the occurrence of heterogeneity.
