- Parasitic or free-living bacteria; many pathogenic to humans and other animals
- Spirochaetes English pronunciation: /u02C8spu028Cu026Aru0259(u028A)kiu02D0t/ (also spelled spirochetes) belong to a phylum of distinctive diderm (double-membrane) bacteria, most of which have long, helically coiled (corkscrew-shaped or spiraled, hence the name) cells. Spirochaetes are chemoheterotrophic in nature, with lengths between 3 and 500u00A0u00B5m and diameters around 0.09 to at least 3u00A0u00B5m.
- Any of several coiled bacteria, of the order Spirochaetales, most of which are pathogenic to both humans and animals
- (spirochetes) spiral-shaped bacteria that have flexible walls and are capable of movement, causes lyme disease
- (Spirochetes) Corkscrew-shaped bacterial cells.
- (Spirochetes) Very slender and spirally bacteria which are the cause of such diseases as yaws, syphilis and recurrent or relapsing fever.
- A class of bacteria that have a spiral or corkscrew-like appearance when seen under the microscope.
- Large, spirally twisted, unicellular bacterium eg Treponema pallidum which causes Syphilis. STAN Stanleyville, present-day Kisangani, Congo.
- Also spirochaete) /SPIGH-roe-keet/ Any member of Spirochaetes, a phylum of helical bacteria. Three spirochete genera, Borrelia, Leptospira, and Treponema, contain organisms that are important causative agents of human disease
