TranslationsDiplococcus
Diplococcus a genus of bacteria of the family Lactobacteriaceae. They are chiefly spherical bacteria, which are found in pairs as a result of division in a single plane; at times they form short chains. They are gram positive. The genus has only one species, D. pneumoniae (pneumococcus), which has more than 80 serotypes. Diplococcus is one of the causative agents of lobar pneumonia. Certain Diplococcus— those that are gram negative and the pisiform bacteria—are classified in the genus Neisseria, family Neisseriaceae. diplococcus
Diplococcus [dip″lo-kok´us] former name for a genus of bacteria of the tribe Streptococceae. D. pneumo´niae is now called Streptococcus pneumoniae.
diplococcus [dip″lo-kok´us] (pl. diplococ´�ci) 1. any of the spherical, lance-shaped, or coffee bean–shaped bacteria occurring usually in pairs as a result of incomplete separation after cell division in a single plane.2. any organism of the genus Diplococcus.Diplococcus (dip'lō-kok'ŭs), Species of this former genus of bacteria are now assigned to other genera. Diplococcus pneumoniae, the type species of Diplococcus, is a member of the genus Streptococcus. See: Neisseria, Peptococcus, Streptococcus. [diplo- + G. kokkos, berry]
