Background Syphilis diagnosis may be challenging, especially in the asymptomatic and early clinical stages. We evaluated the presence of Treponema pallidum DNA (TP-DNA) in various sample types to elucidate transmissibility during various syphilis sta

The cppB gene is often used as a target for detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by PCR. Using a coded panel of 500 DNA samples, we determined that the cppB gene is missing in 5.8% of N. gonorrhoeae strains, and therefore we consider the cppB gene to b

Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, is a sexually transmitted disease which was epidemic in Europe between the 15th and 20th century. From 2000 onwards it is worldwide mostly encountered among men who have sex with men but also among women in res
