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.

Also, I worked in a lab for many years, and gram-negative and gram-positive are not capitalized. Gram is the name of the doctor or scientist who came up with the staining test, Gram stain, so that is capped.

suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive
Subject: suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive
This is dictated in a neuro operative report on a patient with Parkinson disease. The doctor is doing insertion of bilateral deep brain stimulators:
Macro stimulation using 0 negative 3 positive pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling of the left side at threshold of 2.5.
or would it be easier to understand like this?
Macro stimulation using 0-/3+ pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling on the left side at threshold of 2.5.
I honestly don't really understand what I'm transcribing here, so maybe a comma should be after the 0-/3+.
