Molecular studies of Treponema pallidum

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum), has re-emerged in the UK and globally. There are 11 million new cases annually. The WHO stated the urgent need for single-dose oral treatments for syphilis to replace penicillin injections. Azithromycin showed initial promise, but macrolide resistance-associated mutations are emerging. Response to treatment is monitored by serological assays that can take month...
