Creating exceptions for forced capitalization in Scientific names

jcyrwrites
Zotero keeps capitalizing everything after a period, which gives me
Microbacter f. Sp. Nov [Correct: Microbacter f. sp. nov ]
Bacillus subtilis sp. Subtilis [Correct Bacillus subtilis sp. subtilis ]

Things I've tried.
1. Changing the language to Hebrew
2. Putting tags around the letters
3. Setting the field to sentence case.

Things I've attempted to do but got lost:
1. Searching through the style editor to find the title-case thing cause i don't know under what section it should be.

I have a lot of references and going through them manually every time I refresh is a pain cause the word processor cannot search through the bibliography.

My questions:
1. Is there any way to force Zotero to stop capitalizing stuff after periods and import the title as I have html'ed it?
2. Failing that, is there any way to force Word to search through the citations and replace them?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

    The way to prevent cases changes is to wrap the text that shouldn’t be changed in these HTML tags:
    <span class="nocase"> Microbacter f. sp. nov</span>
