Salmonella consisted of only one species: Salmonella enterica. It was thought that there many species at one time but many studies have suggested that there is but one species and 6 groups.

To make it more confusing, many do not wish to use the newer studies and still use the older. They still divide Salmonella into S. enterica, S. bongori and S. subterranean.
