Rod shaped bacteria simply refers to the shape of a large group of bacilli bacteria. Different ones have different effects. For example, mycobacteria are a type of bacillus bacteria that include species such as M. tuberculosis and M. avium. They are responsible for granumolas. Another example is the completely harmless L. acidophilus used as a culture in yoghurt production.
