	Treponema pallidum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Treponema pallidum is a gram-negative spirochaete bacterium and is considered to be metabolically crippled.
		pallidum pallidum is a motile spirochaete that is generally acquired by close sexual contact, entering the host via breaches in squamous or columnar epithelium.
		pallidum pallidum (syphilis); however, their transmission is not venereal in nature and the course of each disease is significantly different.

		Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis and the most extensively studied treponeme, is an obligate parasite meaning that it cannot exist outside the host, because it lacks the ability to synthesize essential nutrients, and consequently needs to obtain them from the host.

		Treponema are delicate organisms requiring pH in the range 7.2 to 7.4, temperatures in the range 30°C to 37°C and a microaerophilic environment.
		Treponema possess a complex antigenic makeup that is difficult to determine because the organisms cannot be grown in vitro.
		Treponema pallidum is capable of infecting all body tissues.

		Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum.
		If Treponema are not found, one must consider the status of the maternal infection, whether the mother has been treated, the serologic tests in the infant, the clinical findings in the infant, and the results of bone radiographs and examination of the CSF.

		pallidum, performance and interpretation of pre-genomic metabolic investigations were greatly complicated by the unavoidable presence of rabbit testicular contaminants in treponemal suspensions.
		pallidum, a distinctive aspect of human disease, is common during early syphilis and, in untreated individuals, sets the stage for the subsequent development of neurological complications (neurosyphilis).
		The extensively studied Treponema denticola binds to and degrades extracellular matrix and thereby probably contributes to the disruption of the gingival epithelial barrier and bacterial penetration of the underlying connective tissue.

	Treponema pallidum Information
		pallidum pallidum is a motile spirochaete that is generally acquired by close sexual contact, entering the host Tbreaches in squamous or columnar as well as upper epidermis epithelium.
		The outer membrane of "T. Pallidum" has too few surface proteins for an antibody to be effective.
		Efforts to develop a safe and effective syphilis vaccine have been hindered by uncertainty about the relative importance of humoral and cellular mechanisms to protective immunity and the fact that T. pallidum outer membrane proteins have not been unambiguously identified.

		BACKGROUND: Neuroinvasion by Treponema pallidum is common in early syphilis; neurosyphilis, with CSF abnormalities, is less common.
		pallidum strains were isolated and propagated from blood and CSF by rabbit inoculation.
		These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that T. pallidum organisms that invade the CSF are distinct from blood organisms or that they evolve separately from blood organisms once they reach the CSF compartment.

	eMedicine - Treponematosis (Endemic Syphilis) : Article Excerpt by: Steven Fine, MD, PhD
		Background: Treponematosis traditionally refers to the group of nonvenereal diseases that are caused by Treponema species that are morphologically and serologically identical to each other and to Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum, the cause of syphilis.
		All the nonvenereal Treponema species are transmitted, chiefly by direct contact, among children living in tropical and subtropical climates.
		In humans, the pathogenic treponemes are T pallidum pallidum, Treponema pertenue (yaws), Treponema endemicum (bejel or endemic syphilis), and Treponema carateum (pinta).
