Treponema Details: NCBI 157, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

Found in Oral Cavity

  1. Syphilis (Treponema pallidum):

    • Treponema pallidum is a spirochete bacterium that causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Syphilis progresses through various stages, including primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages. It can affect multiple organ systems and lead to a range of symptoms, including genital sores, skin rashes, fever, and, if left untreated, more severe complications affecting the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
  2. Treponemal Infections:

    • Apart from T. pallidum, other treponemes may cause various conditions in animals and humans. Some treponemes are associated with oral infections, such as periodontal disease. Treponemes in the oral cavity are often part of the complex microbial community, and their role in periodontal health and disease is an area of ongoing research.
  3. Spirochete Characteristics:

    • Treponema bacteria are characterized by their spiral or corkscrew shape and are motile, often using endoflagella (axial filaments) for movement. These unique characteristics contribute to their ability to invade tissues and evade the host immune response.
  4. Transmission:

    • Syphilis is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Vertical transmission from mother to child during pregnancy is also possible.
  5. Diagnosis and Treatment:

    • Diagnosis of syphilis often involves serological tests to detect antibodies against Treponema pallidum. Syphilis is typically treated with antibiotics such as penicillin, which is effective in curing the infection at various stages.
  6. Prevention:

    • Prevention of syphilis involves practicing safe sex, using barrier methods (such as condoms), and getting tested regularly, especially for individuals at higher risk of infection.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
