A diplococcus is a round bacterium that typically occurs in pairs of two joined cells. Examples are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis. Of these, all are Gram-negative except for Streptococcus Pneumoniae.
Its name comes from diplo, meaning double, and coccus, meaning berry.
In former times, a bacterial genusDiplococcus was recognized, but it is not used anymore.

∙ 13y agoDiplococci are spherical bacteria that occur as pairs or clusters. They can be recognized under a microscope by their characteristic shape - two cocci (round cells) arranged in pairs. Gram staining can also help differentiate diplococci based on their staining properties.

Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, is a gram-positive diplococci bacteria that can cause septic meningitis in individuals. It is a common cause of bacterial meningitis in adults.

Neisseria meningitidis is the gram-negative diplococci bacteria that can cause a purple rash known as petechiae or purpura. This bacterium is responsible for meningococcal infections, which can lead to serious conditions like meningitis and septicemia. Immediate medical attention is crucial if these symptoms are observed.
"Diplococci" is plural; the singular form is "diplococcus." Diplococci are bacteria that typically occur in pairs.

Examples of diplococci include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes gonorrhea, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause pneumonia and other respiratory infections. Diplococci are bacteria that typically occur in pairs.

It is gonorrhea that is a diplococcus, not chlamydia.
Many of them, like gonorrhea, are contagious.
Dogs can get a diplococci infection such as meningitis from an infected carrier through the transmission of fluids. Animals with weakened or immature immune systems being at the greatest risk.
Gram negative diplococci cause chlamydia and gonorrhea. Gram positive cause pneumonia.
