Treponema bacteria are a group of spirochete bacteria. Many members of treponema bacteria can cause important diseases for human beings. Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease, is a well-known sexually transmitted disease that is caused by treponema bacteria. The motility of the pathogenic bacteria in human beings is an interesting focus when one studies on the pathogenesis. To observe the movement of the causative pathogen, Treponema pallidum can be done based on dark-field microscopic observation. The derived track of the pathogen movement at different time can be recorded and further manipulated based on MATLAB.

Syphilis is another notifiable disease representing a sexually transmitted organism (the spirochete Treponema pallidum). Syphilis is also curable with penicillin if the medication is administered in the primary stage (usually a genital sore) or secondary stage (skin eruption and inflammation of several organs). If allowed to progress to a later stage, syphilis can damage the heart and central nervous system, and may even cause blindness. In 1994, about 81% of primary and secondary syphilis cases were reported in persons 15 to 39 years old, according to the CDC.

The microorganisms capable of producing enzyme hyase include various species of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Peptostreptococcus, Propionibacterium, and Clostridium.[12–15] While it has also been reported in different species of Candida, including C. albicans, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, and C. guillermondii.[16] The fungal strains of Penicillium sp. (P. funiculosum, P. purpurogenum),[17]Streptomyces sp., Pseudozyma aphidis, Cryptococcus laurentii[18] were reported for the production of enzyme hyase. The invertebrates like leeches (Hirudo medicinalis, Nephelopsis obscura, Desserobdella picta and Glossiphonia complanata),[19] spiders (Vitalius dubius, Loxosceles intermedia and Hippasa partita),[20,21] social wasp (Polybia paulista),[22] honey bees (Apis dorsata and Apis mellifera),[23] scorpions (Palamneus gravimanus and Buthus martensi)[24,25] also produce hyase. The causative agent of syphilis - Treponema pallidum and Treponema pertenue are also reported to produce hyase.[26] The veterinary pathogens, Streptococcus uberis and Streptococcus dysgalactiae that cause mastitis have also shown the synthesis of hyaluronidase.[27–29] Recently, hyases were reported as important virulence factors of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) involved in ascending vaginal infections in pregnant women leading to increased fetal injuries, preterm birth defects, and fetal demise.[30,31]
