Abstract
Genomes of closely related treponemes, Treponema pallidum ssp.
pallidum (Nichols) and Treponema paraluiscuniculi were compared
using several techniques of genomics and molecular biology. T.
pallidum ssp. pallidum is the causative agent of a highly
invasive human disease syphilis whereas T. paraluiscuniculi is
not pathogenic to humans.
