What bacteria causes herpes simplex?

  1. Bacilli

  2. Cocci

  3. Spirilla

  4. Treponema pallidum

The correct answer is: Cocci

Herpes simplex is caused by a virus, not by bacteria. Therefore, none of the options provided (Bacilli, Cocci, Spirilla, Treponema pallidum) are the correct bacteria that cause herpes simplex. Instead, herpes simplex is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
