Subject: You don't have to capitalize it. It is not meant to start with a capital.
There may be other opinions out there, but since it is supposed to be pH, keep it that way even if it does start the sentence. I like the idea of adding the word THE to the front, though. That works too and solves the problem! Good thinking!!!

When is Staphylococcus not capital? This is confusing me.

I don't think this is logical. They start at the rectum, then meet the sigmoid (left colon), next transverse, then right (descending) colon, then cecum last.
But I'd be more comfortable with the term rigid sigmoidoscope than colonoscope. No way can a rigid instrument get all the way around, right?
