Here is another website that can help you with abbreviations. You can either put in the abbreviation and it will give you all the options for that abbrevation. Or you can put in the definition and it will show you the correct abbreviation:

Drug Names - Websites???
Subject: Drug Names - Websites???

I hope you all can help! I am in search of a good website to distinguish drug names. I am looking specifically to be able to distinguish brand names from generic and am interested in which should be capitalized, and which not? Any good sites out there that aren't all lists with all drug names starting in caps even though they shouldn't be?

Subject: gram-negative, lactose-negative rods is correct. I found a couple of interesting websites SM

after doing a google search for gram-negative, lactose-negative rods. Basically testing organisms to see if they ferment lactose (positive) or not (negative).

Also, just FYI, gram-negative is not capitalized.

Probably too late, I'm sure. Better late than never, I guess.
