[edit] Nomenclature
The serovars can be designated fully or in a shortened form.[3] The short form lists the genus, Salmonella, which is followed by the capitalized and non-italicized serovar. The full designation for Salmonella Typhi is Salmonella enterica enterica, serovar Typhi. Each serovar can have many strains as well, which allows for a rapid increase in the total number of antigenically variable bacteria.[4]
