Spherical bacteria {coccus}| can be streptococcus, staphylococcus, or single spheres, such as pneumonia and gonorrhea.
Spherical bacteria {staphylococcus} can form sphere clumps. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has antibiotic resistance to beta-lactams, by making enzyme that splits antibiotic. Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) has antibiotic resistance to beta-lactams, by five-gene cassettes that alter cell-wall receptors.
Spherical bacteria {streptococcus} can form sphere chains.
