Abstract
ABSTRACT
Treponema pallidum
includes three subspecies of antigenically highly related treponemes. These organisms cause clinically distinct diseases and cannot be distinguished by any existing test. In this report, genetic signatures are identified in two
tpr
genes which, in combination with the previously published signature in the 5′ flanking region of the tpp15 gene, can differentiate the
T. pallidum
subspecies, as well as a simian treponeme.
