"Escherichia spp"

Line 13:8 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>Escherichia</em>'

"Occasionally we will use short gene symbols in articles e.g. the symbol for caeruloplasmin is CP, by scientific convention, the gene is italicised i.e. CP, whilst the protein product, CP, remains in standard typeface. This does not apply to the long name of the gene so that caeruloplasmin is the name - and written in the same typeface - for both the gene and its protein product (see also gene and protein naming)."

Line 17:156 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>CP</em>'

"The symbols for atomic number (Z) and mass number (A) are italicised by convention."

Line 19:38 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>Z</em>) and mass number (<em>A</em>'
