Genetics of Treponema: relationship between Treponema pallidum and five cultivable treponemes. 1978

R Miao, and A H Fieldsteel

Three genetically distinct groups of treponemes have been identified by saturation reassociation assays using 125I-labeled treponemal DNAs. The three groups are (i) virulent Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain), (ii) T. phagedenis and its biotypes Reiter and Kazan 5, and (iii) T. refringens biotypes Nichols and Noguchi. There is no detectable DNA sequence homology (less than 5%) among the three groups. The groups have distinct guanine + cytosine contents: 52.4 to 53.7% for T. pallidum, 41.5% for T. refringens, and 38 to 39% for T. phagedenis.
