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.

...First, it's named after Dr. Homans (as the previous poster mentioned). Secondly, it is no longer proper in medical transcription to use the possessive forms of eponyms. That's why it is now "Alzheimer disease," "Kawasaki disease," "non-Hodgkin lymphoma," etc. The resources where you are finding it with an apostrophe are out of date. If I recall correctly, this new standard is only a few years old. (Why can't they just quit changing this stuff on us?!?!?!)

Biography:
John Homans worked on experimental hypophysectomy with Harvey Williams Cushing (1869-1939) at Johns Hopkins. Homans, Cushing and Samuel James Crowe (1883-1955) in 1910 presented the first evidence of the relationship between the pituitary and the reproductive system. Homans later became interested in peripheral vascular disease.

His wife was Helen Perkins Homans. Their daughter Helen Homans died of pneumonia on November 22, 1916, while serving as a nurse with the Red Cross in France. Homans' three sons all graduated from Harvard.
