  • Title: Effect of KCN on the motility of Treponema pallidium.
    Author: Horváth I, Király K, Marschalkó M.
    Journal: Acta Microbiol Acad Sci Hung; 1979; 26(4):273-5. PubMed ID: 232617.
    Abstract:
    Virulent Treponema pallidum has been shown to survive in KCN-containing artificial medium. Oxygen uptake being sensitive to cyanide, the observation indicates that treponemes do not have a cytochrome oxidase system. KCN had a killing effect only at a 15--30 mM final concentration. The data show that the Budapest strain of T. pallidum is an anaerobic organism.
