Treponema pallidum is a Gram-negative spirochaete 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.
