The Chimeric Genome of <italic toggle="yes">Sphaerochaeta</italic>: Nonspiral Spirochetes That Break with the Prevalent Dogma in Spirochete Biology
ABSTRACT Spirochaetes is one of a few bacterial phyla that are characterized by a unifying diagnostic feature, namely, the helical morphology and motility conferred by axial periplasmic flagella. Their unique morphology and mode of propulsion also represent major pathogenicity factors of clinical sp...
