Taxonomy/phylogeny:
 
Two species have been described within genus Salmonella. S. enterica belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is closely related to members of the genera Escherichia and Shigella. In fact, all members of these three genera Shigella form a monophyletic cluster (see Fig. 157:1 to the left).
Comment:There are about 100 different serovars
