Syphilis Tests

Syphilis Tests

Treponema Pallidum (TP) is the causative agent of the venereal disease Syphilis. TP is a spirochete bacterium with an outer envelope and a cytoplasmic membrane. Relatively little is known about the organism in comparison with other bacterial pathogens. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the number of cases of Syphilis infection has markedly increased since 1985. Some studies have reported a substantial epidemiological correlation between the acquisition and transmission of the HIV virus and Syphilis.

Fortress Diagnostics manufactures, develops and supplies an extensive range of high quality syphilis tests with controls and associated reagents.
