Staph or staph - sm
Posted: May 21, 2011
Dictated: ..... to rule out staph infection.
In this instance, is "staph" capitalized or no?
Thank you.
staph -
[ In Reply To ..]the way I remember it is if it is a whole name, such as Staphylococcus aureus, et cetera, is used then it would be capitalized. i don't capitalize staph infection myself though
lowercase, unless the species is given. - i.e., staph infection but Staph aureus. nm
