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.

I can't tell what this guy is saying! The first sentence...Neck was not stiff....is very clear. Can't tell if a period goes after stiff because then I hear jumbled words something about...to the stagmus...but stagmus isn't a real word.
Looking around there is stuff about stiff neck and nystagmus.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what this guy might be saying. It sound somewhat like the sentence below...what would DB possible be?
Neck was not stiff as a DB to nystagmus

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.

lactose negative....
