The cocci (sphere-shaped bacteria) gather in little sections and stick together, eventually covering an entire surface. They look like little dots all stuck together in groups, basically. They're gram positive, meaning they show-up purple on a stain.

Under a microscope, strep throat appears as clusters or chains of bacteria called Streptococcus pyogenes. These bacteria are spherical in shape and can be stained to show up more clearly. Streptococcus pyogenes are usually gram-positive, meaning they retain a purple color after staining.

Most people do not know that names for bacteria are given to describe their shapes. Gonorrhoea bacteria (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) are a gonococcus-type bacteria, and are therefore shaped like coffee beans. So if you look at the good ol' Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria under a microscope, you will see a bunch of coffee-bean shapes.
It is a Gram negative diplococci (looks like a coffee bean).

Streptococcus pyogenes look like sphere or oval shaped. You have one, two or chains of the bacteria. At times in groups, specially in pathological specimens.

Strep Throat is a bacterial disease while Chicken Pox is a viral infection. I'm not sure but I believe viruses have the incubation period, while the bacteria infects the person immediately and starts doing damage. I think you can spread Strep Throat by kissing or getting sputum (spit) in the eyes, nose or mouth of another person. Strep Throat is related to the "Flesh-eating disease" so go see a doctor and look for symptoms in persons that you have been in close contact with.
