Understand that scientific names are composed of two parts: the genus name and the species name.
The genus name is always capitalized, while the species name is not.
Both the genus and species names should be italicized or underlined when handwritten.
Review the options provided and identify which ones follow the correct formatting rules for scientific names.
Recognize that the correct formatting for the scientific name is 'Staphylococcus epidermidis', with 'Staphylococcus' capitalized and 'epidermidis' in lowercase, both italicized.
