What are coccoid bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacteria : Bacteria are single cell organisms that live in synchrony with our bodies and outside of our bodies. They can be both helpful (symbiotic) and harmful (pathologic) depending on context. Cocci or cocciod bacteria are named for their shape (round), but do not refer to a specific organism.
