A '''coccobacillus''' (plural '''coccobacilli''') 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>https://microbeonline.com/gram-negative-cocci-coccobacilli-medical-significance-list-bacteria-diseases/</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]]" is also coccobacillius, which causes plague. |
