In Reply to: When is Staphylococcus not capital? This is confusing me. - DT

"Always capitalize genus names and their abbreviated forms when they are accompanied by a species name.  Always lowerecase species names.  i.e. Staphylococcus aureus.


Lowercase genus names used in plural and adjectival forms and when used in the vernacular, for example, when they stand alone (without a species name).  i.e. staphylococcus, group B streptococcus, staphylococci, staphylococcal infection, staph infection, strep throat." 


Hope this helps!

Please don't just quote ref. books
Please don't just quote reference books; I have my own, thank you, and they are all just as conflicted as yours.  Stedman's, Tessier, Sloane, Google, etc., all list Moschowitz, Moschcowitz, Moskowitz and Moscowitz in roughly equal proportions.  None gives an actual first name or cites the pioneering publication.  Please, does anyone actually know who this procedure is named after?  Is it hernia repair pioneer Alexis Moschcowitz of Mt. Sinai?  Full doctor name and facility or publication title, please!!!!!
I'm sorry, that is not a proper quote. SM

1.  If it is a verbatim account, you should put pee in there if he said it.


2.  The patient reports, "When he tried to pee, he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right."


The right way if you were going to quote this would be:


When he tried to "pee" he got weak, dizzy, hit the floor, did not feel right.
