When is Staphylococcus not capital? This is confusing me.
I always thought Staphyloccocus was capitalized until on my QA I was told different, but can't find the reason and it's been a while since this happened.  Now it bothers me not knowing how to determine whether I'm capitalizing it when its not supposed to be.  Can you help me with this?  Thanks

Don't know if it is as I have it, or if it is cMRSA (both are found with google). He may be saying CA-MRSA boils, which I also found with google, although
