Treponema pallidum

Treponema pallidum is the bacterial pathogen responsible for syphilis, a chronic sexually transmitted infection with potentially serious long-term health effects. If not detected and treated early, the infection can progress through multiple stages and cause neurological, cardiovascular, and systemic complications. Sensitive and specific detection is key to effective infection monitoring and control.
Treponema pallidum PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a reliable method for identifying the presence of T. pallidum DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) version, these PCR assays support syphilis diagnostics, detection and identification of T. pallidum as well as sexually transmitted infections (STI) research, epidemiological surveillance, and molecular analysis from clinical samples.
T. pallidum is part of TORCH group. Please find other assays which can be used in relation to significant risks during pregnancy in the specific TORCH category.
