Rod shaped bacterial cells that are in chains or as individuals are called bacilli. Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrio) or corkscrew (spirochetes).
However the first three are considered the most basic shapes and the others are slight variations of them.
