Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A coccus (plural cocci) is any bacterium or archaeon that has a spherical, ovoid, or generally round shape. Bacteria are categorized based on their shapes into three classes: cocci (spherical-shaped), bacillus (rod-shaped) and spiral (of which there are two types: spirillum and spirochete).
Detailed explanation-2: -The name “coccobacilli” is a combination of the words “cocci” and “bacilli.” Cocci are sphere-shaped bacteria, while bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria. Bacteria that fall between these two shapes are called coccobacilli. There are many species of coccobacilli, and some of them cause disease in humans.
