Question

Which scientific name is written correctly? select one: a. staphylococcus aureus b. staphylococcus aureus c. staphylococcus aureus d. staphylococcus aureus e. s. aureus

Answer 1

All your options look similar, though the correct way of writing any scientific name is; Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus aureus.

In writing scientific names, there are certain rules that must be followed. They include;

• The name should be always italicized. If the name can't be italicized especially when writing using a pen and paper, both names should be underlined instead. When writing electronically or when using a word processor, the name must be italicized. it is also good to note that both names must be italicized
• Always capitalize the genus. The first letter of genetic name ( the name always on the left ) should always be capitalized
• The specific name ( the name always on the right ) should never be capitalized
• The name can be shortened by writing the first letter of the genetic name, putting a period at the front and then writing the specific name in full. Also, note that the shortened genetic name should also be capitalized. The shortened form of the scientific name in the question above can be written as S. aureus or S. aureus
