Bacteria exhibit several common morphological shapes: 1. Cocci: Spherical-shaped bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus). 2. Bacilli: Rod-shaped bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli). 3. Spirilla: Spiral-shaped bacteria (e.g., Spirillum). 4. Vibrio: Comma-shaped bacteria (e.g., Vibrio cholerae). 5. Coccobacilli: A combination of cocci and bacilli, appearing as short rods (e.g., Haemophilus influenzae).
