The causative agent of gonorrhea and one of the causative agents of meningitis is part of Diplococci subgroup of proteobacteria.

Diplococci

In essence, diplococci bacteria are paired, spherical, or rounded bacteria. Some bacteria may appear ovoid (elongated) or bean-shaped, unlike staphylococci bacteria, which form grape-like clusters and are genuinely round.

Numerous infections in humans can be brought on by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The shape of diplococci bacteria can be spherical or elongated, as was previously mentioned. Therefore, some species—such as those of the staphylococci bacteria—might not be perfectly round. Because of this, they are frequently referred to as having an ovococcoid shape. Several studies have suggested that this form is the result of two different peptidoglycan machineries. The cell division machinery is in charge of producing septal peptidoglycan, which leads to the formation of the cell wall, in coccoids (really round bacteria), such as Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus.
