Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete: making a living as a . . . The last two decades have seen a worldwide resurgence in infections caused by Treponema pallidum subsp pallidum, the syphilis spirochete The syphilis spirochete’s well-recognized capacity for early dissemination and immune evasion has earned it
Treponema - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Organisms in the genus Treponema (phylum Spirochaetes, order Spirochetales, family Spirochaetaceae) are obligate parasites distributed across a broad range of animal hosts, though a few basal species may represent free-living organisms [1]
Treponema | Health and Medicine | Research Starters - EBSCO Treponema is a genus of gram-negative, motile spirochetes known for their unique structure and nutritional requirements These bacteria can be classified as anaerobes or microaerophiles and are primarily found as commensals or parasites in humans and other animals

TREPONEMA PALLIDUM - Microbiology Class Treponema pallidum, a Gram-negative spirochaete, causes syphilis, a contagious STD spread through direct contact, including mother-to-child transmission The disease progresses through primary, secondary, and tertiary stages without treatment, potentially causing severe complications
Treponema pallidum: Properties, Pathogenesis, and Disease Treponema (trepos meaning turn and nema meaning thread) pallidum is a member of the spirochete family having a characterized distinct helical shape It is the causative agent of syphilis, an infectious venereal disease in humans
The Genus Treponema | Springer Nature Link They are helical, tightly coiled, motile bacteria, ranging from 5–20 µm in length and 0 1–0 4 µm in diameter, and are best observed by dark-field microscopy (Fig 1) The organisms stain poorly with the usual aniline dyes; however, those that are capable of aniline-dye uptake are Gram-negative
