Spirochetes (Treponema, Leptospira, and Borrelia): Thin-walled, flexible, spiral rods (Corkscrew shaped) seen only by darkfield microscope and generally not seen in a standard light …

Spirochaetes are thin-walled spiralled flexible organisms which are motile by means of an axial filament. They are not seen in a Gram-stain (except B. vincenti), but may be seen either by …

Jun 6, 2019 · Phase contrast microscopy is the ideal way to look at these spirochetes along with the biofilms that often accompany them. In phase contrast there is an infinite gray shading …

Elongated, motile, flexible bacteria twisted spirally along the long axis are termed ‘spirochetes’ (from Speira, meaning coil and chaite, meaning hair). It has two families: (1) Spirochaetaceae …

Many spirochetes are difficult to see by routine microscopy. Although they are gram negative, many either take stains poorly or are too thin (0.15 μm or less) to fall within the resolving …
