A long or short chain of micrococci, more or less curved. noun

A spherical, gram-positive bacterium of the genus Streptococcus. Although commonly found benignly in the human mouth and gut, and though many species are non-pathogenic, other species can cause diseases including strep throat and more serious conditions. noun

Spherical Gram-positive bacteria occurring in pairs or chains; cause e.g. scarlet fever and tonsillitis noun
