Which one of the following cocci appears like grapes under microscope?
Streptococci
Diplococci
Staphylococci
Pneumococci
C.
Staphylococci
Staphylococci are species of Gram-positive bacteria. It can cause a wide variety of infections in humans and other animals through infection or the production of toxins. When viewed under microscope, they appear in grape-like clusters.
Streptococcus is a genus of Gram- positive coccus or spherical bacteria.
Diplococci is a bacterium that occurs as pairs of cocci. It is a round bacterium that occurs in the form of two joined cells.
Pneumococci is a type of streptococcus bacteria.
