A '''coccobacillus''' (plural '''coccobacilli'''), or bacilluscocco, is a type of [[bacterium]] with a shape intermediate between [[cocci]] (spherical bacteria) and [[bacilli]] (rod-shaped bacteria). Coccobacilli, then, are very short rods which may be mistaken for cocci.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://microbeonline.com/gram-negative-cocci-coccobacilli-medical-significance-list-bacteria-diseases/|title=Gram-Negative Cocci and Coccobacilli of Medical Significance; List of Bacteria and Diseases|first=Acharya|last=Tankeshwar|date=April 11, 2016}}</ref> |

''[[Haemophilus influenzae]]'', ''[[Gardnerella vaginalis]]'', and ''[[Chlamydia trachomatis]]'' are coccobacilli. ''[[Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans]]'' is a Gram-negative coccobacillus prevalent in subgingival plaques. ''[[Acinetobacter]]'' strains may grow on solid media as coccobacilli. ''[[Bordetella pertussis]]'' is a Gram-negative coccobacillus responsible for causing [[whooping cough]]. ''[[Yersinia pestis]]'', the bacterium that causes [[plague (disease)|plague]], is also coccobacillus.{{cn|date=January 2023}} |
