Syphilis is caused by a spirochete called treponema pallidum which is neither, but closer to a bacteria than a virus. It is killed very effectively by long acting penicillin (antibiotic) injections.

The microscopic organism called Treponema pallidum(corkscrew-shaped) is a spirochete. This worm-like, spiral-shaped organism infects people by burrowing into the moist mucous membranes of the mouth or genitals. From there, the spirochete produces a non-painful ulcer known as a chancre.


Yes, Treponema pallidum is a spirochete bacterium. Infection by this bacterium is known as syphilis and can be effectively treated with antibiotics, usually penicillin or doxycycline.
