Bacterial pathogenesis: Spirochete spreading

Nature Reviews Microbiology 14, 667 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.155 Author: Andrea Du Toit The ability of Treponema pallidum to disseminate throughout the host and exit from the vasculature is crucial to its pathogenesis. This process is governed by T. pallidum proteins, including TP0751 (also known as pallilysin), that mediate attachment to the host extracellular matrix (ECM).
