Antibiotics can target various types of bacteria, which are generally classified into shapes such as cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). The type of bacteria that antibiotics can affect depends on the specific antibiotic and its mechanism of action. For example, penicillin is effective against many cocci, while tetracycline can target a wide range of bacterial shapes, including bacilli and cocci. Therefore, antibiotics can act on all three types, depending on the bacteria they are designed to combat.
What else can I help you with?
When bacteria are spiral shaped they are called?
spirillum
What are four types of bacteria?

What are the three types of bacterial shapes?
Coccus (plural cocci): circular or spherical Bacillus (plural bacilli): rod-shaped Spirillum (plural spirilla): spiral shaped, long and thin.
What does role morphology play in distinguishing among species of bacteria?
Based on morphology of bacteria, bacteria can classified as one of three group of coccus, bacillus, or spirillum. A coccus is a sphere. A bacillus is a rod-shaped bacterium. A spirillum is a long cell with one or more curves or coils.
What are the three morphologies of prokaryotes?
The three morphologies of prokaryotes are cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). These morphologies vary in size, structure, and arrangement depending on the species of prokaryote.
What do the 3 main shapes of bacteria look like?

When bacteria are spiral shaped they are called?
spirillum

Three basic shapes of bacteria?
The three basic shapes of bacteria are cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). Each shape has a unique structure that contributes to the bacteria's function and ability to survive.
What does role morphology play in distinguishing among species of bacteria?
Based on morphology of bacteria, bacteria can classified as one of three group of coccus, bacillus, or spirillum. A coccus is a sphere. A bacillus is a rod-shaped bacterium. A spirillum is a long cell with one or more curves or coils.
What are three shapes of bacteria?
Coccus or cocci: round - spherical Bacillus or Bacilli: Rod Spirillum or Spirilla: rigid, wavy shape Pleomorphism: condition of varying shapes
What shape are the gram positive bacteria?
The shape is not specific it could be coccus(spiral), spirila, or bacillus(rod), depends on the bacteria. Gram positives are more complex and need different antibiotics to get rid of them, like tetracycline
Different shapes of bacteria?
Coccus = round Spirilla = spiral shaped Bacillus= rod shaped
What are three main arrangements of bacteria...in English?
Rods, balls and spirals. Bacillus, Coccus and Spirillium.
