False

Coccidioides immitis is not a member of domain bacteria.

Coccidioides immitis is a dimorphic fungus that causes the fungal disease; coccidioidomycosis. Coccidioides immitis is mainly found in soils and it exists in two different forms (saprophytic and parasitic). When Coccidioides immitis enter a host, their spores separates from the hyphae and develop into round structures (spherules) that divides to form endospores which causes infection within the host.
