Dissecting the molecular diversity and commonality of bovine and human treponemes identifies key survival and adhesion mechanisms.

Here, we report the first complete genomes of three cultivable treponeme species from bovine digital dermatitis (DD) skin lesions, two comparative human treponemes, considered indistinguishable from bovine DD species, and a bovine gastrointestinal (GI) treponeme isolate. Key genomic differences betw...
