    round and in chains

    Explanation:

    Streptococcus agalactiae is a gram positive bacteria. It is facultative anaerobe and forms a part of microbiota in gastro intestinal and urinary tract of healthy humans. It can cause infections in immuno compromised beings. Its genus name describes its morphology. Coccus are round spherical shaped bacteria. Strepto means that the bacteria are present in chain form. Hence this bacteria is spherical and arranged in chains.

    There are several other types of bacterial morphology. For example: Staphylococcus means that the bacteria is again spherical but this time arranged in groups. Diplococcus means that the spherical bacteria is arranged in a pair. Similarly, bacillus is used to describe a rod shaped bacteria.
