If he is referring to strep throat, then that would be lower case. A specific type of strep, i.e. group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus is the genus here) would be capitalized.

Always capitalize genus names and their abbreviated forms when accompanied by a species name.

List of Genus Names?

Does anyone know where to find a list of genus names and species?  This is probably stupid of me, but do all genera have various species?  I know when standing alone the genus name should be lower case, but when I come across a bacterial-sounding name, I am not sure what to do with it sometimes and cannot always tell from my web search. 


For example:  staphylococcus when alone is not capped, but I really feel lost in this area.    Can anyone help?


Thx!
