Spirochaetes is a phylum of distinctive Gram-negative bacteria, which have long, helically coiled cells.[1] Spirochetes are chemoheterotrophic in nature, with lengths between 5 and 250 µm and diameters around 0.1-0.6 µm.[citation needed] Spirochaetes are distinguished from other bacterial phyla by the location of their flagella, sometimes called axial filaments, which run lengthwise between the cell membrane and outer membrane. These cause a twisting motion which allows the spirochaete to move about. When reproducing, a spirochaete will undergo asexual transverse binary fission

There are many types of spiral-shaped bacteria mainly included in the phylum, Spirochaete. Within this phylum there are three families consisting of Brachyspiraceae, Leptospiraceae, and Spirochaetaceae all belonging in the single order, Spirochaetales. Two of the most medically relevant species include:

  • Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis
  • Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme diseases
  • Treponema pertenue, which causes yaws
