Genomic Analysis of Doxycycline Resistance-Associated 16S rRNA Mutations in Treponema pallidum Subspecies pallidum. [PDF]
We inspected 16S rRNA sequences of 784 publicly available Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum genomes and 17 new T. pallidum subsp. pallidum genomes from Canada for putative mutations associated with doxycycline resistance.

Diagnosis of Syphilis in Paraffin-Embedded Skin Biopsies: Comparison of <i>Treponema pallidum</i> Immunohistochemistry and Polymerase Chain Reaction in Primary and Secondary Stages of Disease. [PDF]
Syphilis remains one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections. Serology is the diagnostic gold standard, but skin biopsies aid in ambiguous cases.

NOTES ON THE CULTIVATION OF TREPONEMA PALLIDUM [PDF]
We consider themost importantcontribution reported in this paper the fact that Treponema pallidum can be cultivated in fluid media, without the addition of agar, together with tissues sterilized by heat. This forms an excellent method of obtaining mass cultures for luetin preparation and immunological experimentation.

Molecular characterization of Treponema pallidum-related rabbit-derived material following experimental inoculation with human chancre-derived clinical specimens: a pilot exploratory study. [PDF]
Background Syphilis remains a major sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum is difficult to investigate under conventional laboratory cultivation conditions, which limits experimental and molecular studies ...

Treponema pallidum protein Tp0136 promotes angiogenesis to facilitate the dissemination of Treponema pallidum. [PDF]
The incompletely eliminated Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum) during primary syphilis chancre infection can result in the progression of secondary, tertiary, or latent syphilis in individuals, suggesting that T. pallidum has successfully evaded the immune

Treponema Pallidum: A Forgotten Pathogen With Major Cardiovascular Consequence. [PDF]
The incidence of syphilis has increased in the last 2 decades. This case describes a 43-year-old with aortic aneurysm and symptomatic aortic regurgitation initially suspected to be congenital and later confirmed as syphilitic in etiology, illustrating a growing need to consider tertiary syphilis as a cause of aortopathy.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification assays for the rapid discrimination of <i>Treponema pallidum</i> lineages and subspecies. [PDF]
Molecular surveillance aimed at identifying the subspecies and lineages of Treponema pallidum is important. Conventional molecular methods for genotyping are effective but are also time-consuming and costly.

An Adenoviral-Vectored Tp0326 Vaccine Elicits Robust Functional Antibodies to Prevent Treponema pallidum Dissemination in a Rabbit Model. [PDF]
Vaccination promotes cellular infiltration into primary lesions and effectively inhibits T. pallidum dissemination to distal organs. Notably, transfer of lesion tissue from immunized animals fails to establish infection in naive recipients, confirming specific protective immunity.
