Treponemataceae: NCBI 2845253, [family]

Back to details

1. Syphilis (Treponema pallidum):

   • Treponema pallidum is the causative agent of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Syphilis can progress through various stages, including primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages. It affects multiple organ systems and can 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. Oral Treponemes:

   • In addition to T. pallidum, other treponemes are commonly found in the oral cavity. These oral treponemes are part of the complex microbial community in the mouth and are typically associated with periodontal health and disease. Some species of oral treponemes may contribute to the development of periodontal disease.

3. Symbiotic and Saprophytic Species:

   • Many species within the genus Treponema are part of the normal microbial flora in various environments, including the digestive tracts of animals and humans. Some are commensal, living harmoniously with their host, while others are saprophytic, contributing to the decomposition of organic matter in soil and other environments.

4. Microbial Communities:

   • Treponemes are often found in complex microbial communities, where their interactions with other microorganisms and the host can influence the overall ecology and function of the community.

5. Research and Diversity:

   • The diversity within the genus Treponema is vast, and ongoing research aims to characterize and understand the various species within this group. While some species have clear pathogenic or symbiotic roles, the functions of others are still being explored.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
