Cocci refers to a shape of bacteria, and can take two different forms, staphylococcus and streptococcus. The staph form of the bacteria causes food poisoning, while the strep form of the bacteria can cause strep throat, pink eye, meningitis, and a variety of other illnesses. The staph form doesn't spread unless the person consumes bad food, but the strep form is extremely contagious.
