Cocci are a type of bacteria characterized by their spherical shape. While they are primarily unicellular organisms, they can exist in various arrangements, such as chains or clusters, depending on their mode of division. Each individual coccus is a single cell, but they can form multicellular structures.
Bacteria are classified based on their shape into three main body types: cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped).
None of the cocci bacteria are motile. Cocci are usually characterized by their round shape and they are typically non-motile.
Cocci are spherical bacteria. As such, they do not have flagella, or tails that allow other types of bacteria to move on their own. Most cocci are not capable of locomotion.
The broad term is a coccus. The way cocci (plural) arrange themselves cause them to gain other names, such as streptococcus (a chain of cocci).
Yes, cocci bacteria can be found in animals. Cocci bacteria are a type of spherical-shaped bacteria that can cause various infections in animals, including skin infections, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections. It is important for pet owners and livestock producers to be aware of the potential for cocci bacteria in animals and to work with veterinarians to prevent and treat infections.

Cocci and bacilli do not cause chlamydia. Cocci cause gonorrhea.
The scientific name for cocci is coccus (plural: cocci). They are a type of spherical-shaped bacteria.
