Human lung infected with treponema organisms stained with anti-treponema pallidum using peroxidase-conjugate and DAB chromogen. Note the clusters of slender organisms.
Treponema pallidum is a Gram-negative spirochete bacterium with periplasmic flagella. There are at least five subspecies of T. pallidum, including T. pallidum pallidum (the cause of syphilis), T. pallidum pertenue (the cause of yaws), T. pallidum carateum (the cause of pinta), T. pallidum trirocllium (the cause of syphilis and pinta) and T. pallidum endemicum (the cause of bejel). T. pallidum is motile and is generally transmitted through close sexual contact, entering the host via breaches in squamous or columnar epithelium.
