Syphilis Ab

Syphilis is caused by the intracellular gram‑negative spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum (TP) subspecies pallidum.Syphilis is mainly transmitted sexually, but also can be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or birth.
The immune response to T. pallidum is the main driver of lesion development. Treponemal tests detect antibodies directed against T. pallidum proteins. A positive treponemal antibody test result indicates prior exposure to syphilis.
