"Rods" are one type of shapes found in various bacteria. There are three basic shapes: Round bacteria are referred to as cocci(singular: coccus). Rod-shaped cells are known as bacilli(singular: bacillus) and spiral shaped cells can be one of two types: either rigid called spirilla(singular spirillum) or flexible called spirochetes (singular spirochete).

Staphylococci: a cocci, can cause Toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
Gonorrhea:caused by a cocci
Escherichia coli:is a bacillus or rod and is found in the intestines. An important E.coli type is E. coliO157:H7. It can cause severe diarrhea and vomiting.

Other bacilli diseases are: Anthrax and TB.
