It is gonorrhea that is a diplococcus, not chlamydia.
Gram negative diplococci cause chlamydia and gonorrhea. Gram positive cause pneumonia.
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.

Examples of diplococci include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes gonorrhea, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause pneumonia and other respiratory infections. Diplococci are bacteria that typically occur in pairs.
Oh, dude, diplococci is actually the plural form of diplococcus. So, if you're talking about just one of those little guys, you'd say diplococcus. But if you've got a whole gang of them hanging out, then it's diplococci. Like, it's all about the numbers, man.
the morphology of neisseria is diplococci

Many of them, like gonorrhea, are contagious.
You can also get by being un sanitary.
Dogs can get a diplococci infection such as meningitis from an infected carrier through the transmission of fluids. Animals with weakened or immature immune systems being at the greatest risk.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the scientific name for the bacteria that causes chlamydia.
Encapsulated diplococci are bacteria that are shaped like two spheres (diplococci) and have a protective capsule surrounding them. This capsule helps the bacteria evade the host immune system and survive in harsh conditions, making them more virulent and pathogenic. Examples include Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis.
