spirochete
A spirochete is a type of spiral-shaped bacteria that can cause various diseases in humans, including syphilis, Lyme disease, and a form of relapsing fever. Typically, these bacteria are long, thin, and flexible, and use a twisting motion to move. Their ability to penetrate bodily tissues and cells allows for effective evasion of the host's immune system.
