Omics detection and treatment of syphilis

Abstract

Treponema pallidum is the source of the chronic systemic sexually transmitted illness syphilis. T. pallidum can evade immunity and spread. A hard chancre, enlarged lymph nodes, and a syphilis rash are the primary clinical signs. The condition may affect the nervous or cardiovascular system and even become fatal after being neglected. Omics technology is a cutting-edge technique that maps the entire regulatory network of gene and protein metabolism using high-throughput sequencing and other techniques, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and genomics, to perform more efficient and methodical research on biological samples. Owing to the diverse and intricate biological roles and gene expression of T. pallidum, a single omics study is frequently insufficient and limited. This review focused on and summarized the use of several omics methods for investigating T. pallidum by referencing several different studies in the literature.
