Cocci is a term used to describe bacteria that have a spherical or round shape. These bacteria can be found in different arrangements, such as clusters, chains, or single cells. Cocci are one of the most common types of bacteria and can be found in various environments, including soil, water, and on the skin or in the respiratory tract of humans and animals. Some species of cocci are harmless and even beneficial to humans, while others can cause infections or diseases. The diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by cocci involve identifying the particular species of bacteria and prescribing an appropriate antibiotic regimen.
