Introduction: Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms, which maintain a definite shape since they contain the rigid cell wall. They are classified into different types based on their structures, namely coccus (spherical shaped), bacillus (rod-shaped), filamentous, spirilla (spiral-shaped), appendaged, and pleomorphic bacteria. Based on the gram staining they are classified as two types, such as gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria.
