Which one is the correct way to write 'Salmonella typhimurium'?
Is it 'Salmonella typhimurium' (all italic) or Salmonella Typhimurium ('Salmonella' written in italic and 'Typhimurium' written in non-italic with T in upper case)?
Do we have to write it as: 'Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium'? Has anyone found any reliable source about it?
Dear Siwi;
the correct way of writting is Salmonella (italics) followed by Typhimurium (T in upper case) or u can write as Salmonella enterica (all italics) followed by Typhimurium (T in upper case).
Follow the below mentioned link;

hope this will be helpful for u..
Thank you very much for your suggestions. They really helped!
The correct way is Salmonella (italic) followed the serotype Typhimurium . That would be 1, 2, 4, 5:i:1, 2 the antigenic formulae of the somatic and flagellar ...
When you write for the first time in the manuscript:
Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium
When it repeats:
S. Typhimurium
Better refer to the link below. Some of the answers you got are wrong.

serovar name should be written in non-italics with first letter in capital, according to new convention.
