1. It is an illness caused by a spiral bacterium called a spirochaete . 2. These suggested that the tick can not transmit this strain of spirochaete (. 3. This motile bacillus is a gram negative, facultative anaerobe and a spirochaete . 4. A conserved signature indel has also been found exclusively shared by all Spirochaetes species. 5. He believed that yellow fever was caused by spirochaete bacteria instead of a virus. 6. Reports have varied as to whether the Chlamydiae are related to the Planctomycetales or Spirochaetes . 7. Spirochaetes in the orange-black layer are chemoheterotrophic and use iron as an electron donor.8. It is an anaerobic spirochaete with type strain C1 T ( = ATCC 51933 T ). 9. Spirochaetes are distinguished from other bacterial phyla by the location of their anaerobic, but there are numerous exceptions.10. This has potential ramifications for Lyme disease transmission, as spirochaete load in the tick can influence transmission efficiency.
