Interaction of Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete, with human platelets.

Platelet-interacting treponemes also showed a trend towards a correspondingly higher amplitude ( Α ) (mean = 0.30 ± 0.02 μm [SEM], Fig 5A yellow bracket and Fig 5E middle) and shorter cell body (L) (mean = 9.56 ± 0.65 μm [SEM], Fig 5B magenta bracket and 5E bottom) than non-platelet interacting treponemes ( A mean = 0.26 ± 0.01 μm [SEM], Fig 5E middle, L mean = 10.46 ± 0.66 μm [SEM], Fig 5E bottom).
