The bacteria that cause gonorrhea and syphilis do not look similar. Gonorrhea is a diplococcus, so it looks like two "balls" stuck together. Syphilis is caused by a spirochete, so it looks like a corkscrew.

GNID, gram-negative intracellular diplococci are widely regarded as pathonomonic for Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection. On gram-stain they are among the smallest of bacteria. As a result, it takes a little practice to be able to quickly recognize their distinctive diplococcoid shape. You may have heard the term, "kidney bean shaped." But they are so small that you have to have an imagination to see that. - Jonah
