Haven't had this in a while, but my book has it both ways. Is it lactose hydrogen breath test or lactulose hydrogen breath test?

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.
