Bacteria shapes skin#
Staphylococcus epidermidis (common part of normal skin flora).Staphylococcus aureus (causes pneumonia and skin infections).Sporosarcina aquimarina (found in sea water).Sporosarcina ureae (found in soil with high amounts of urine).Sarcina ventriculi (found in soil with low pH).Pediococcus damnosus (found in fermented beverages and spoiled food).Pediococcus acidilactici (helpful gut bacteria).Neisseria meningitidis (causes meningococcal disease).Neisseria gonorrhoeae (causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea).Moraxella catarrhalis (causes infections in the eye, nervous systems and joints).Fusobacterium nucleatum (causes periodontal disease).Fusobacterium necrophorum (causes Lemierre's syndrome).Enterococcus faecalis (causes tooth and intestinal infections).Chlamydia trachomatis (causes sexually transmitted disease chlamydia).Aerococcus urinae (causes urinary tract infections and urosepsis).However, some cocci are also helpful to humans, such as the bacteria that make up normal human skin flora ( Staphylococcus epidermidis).Ĭocci appear as single cells ( coccus), pairs ( diplococci), chains ( streptococci), clusters of four cells ( tetrads), irregular clusters ( staphylococci), or large cuboid clusters ( sarcinae).
They cause many bacterial infections in humans, including strep throat ( Streptococcus pyogenes). Coccus bacteria, or cocci, are sphere or oval-shaped bacteria that grow in chains or clusters.
