It is gonorrhea that is a diplococcus, not chlamydia.
Gram negative diplococci cause chlamydia and gonorrhea. Gram positive cause pneumonia.
Diplococci is plural. Diplococcus is singular.
A gram stain cannot detect chlamydia. A gram stain in men that finds gram negative diplococci is considered diagnostic for gonorrhea, but it can't be used in females, and it can't prove chlamydia. A gram stain in men can be used to rule out gonorrhea and possibly diagnose "non-gonococcal urethritis" if a male has symptoms. However, although it may seem that NGU is synonymous with chlamydia, there are other possible causes.
