Origin of modern syphilis and emergence of a contemporary pandemic cluster

2016-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Syphilis swept across the world in the 16th century as one of most prominent documented pandemics and is re-emerging worldwide despite the availability of effective antibiotics. Little is known about the genetic patterns in current infections or the evolutionary origins of the disease due to the non-cultivable and clonal nature of the causative bacterium Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum . In this study, we use...
