The Spirochaetaceae are a family of spirochete bacteria. Some species within this family are known to causes syphilis, Lyme disease, relapsing fever, and other illnesses. [1]
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). [3]

Spirochaeta is a genus of bacteria classified within the phylum Spirochaetota.
Ureaplasma is a genus of bacteria belonging to the family Mycoplasmataceae. As the name implies, Ureaplasma is urease positive.
The Thermoprotei is a class of the Thermoproteota.
Desulfovibrionales are a taxonomic order of bacteria belonging to the phylum Thermodesulfobacteriota, with four families. They are Gram-negative. The majority are sulfate-reducing, with the exception of Lawsonia and Bilophila. All members of this order are obligately anaerobic. Most species are mesophilic, but some are moderate thermophiles.
Myxococcaceae is a family of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria. The family Myxococcaceae is encompassed within the myxobacteria. The family is ubiquitously found in soils, marine, and freshwater environments. Production of compounds with medical uses by Myxococcaceae makes them useful in human health fields.
The Spirochaetales are an order of spirochete bacteria. Some species within this order are known to causes syphilis, Lyme disease, relapsing fever, and other illnesses.
The Leptospiraceae are a family of spirochete bacteria. It includes the genus Leptospira which contains some pathogenic species.
Entomoplasmatales is a small order of mollicute bacteria.
Thermoplasmataceae is a family of archaeans in the order Thermoplasmatales. It contains only one genus, Thermoplasma. All species within Thermoplasmataceae are thermoacidophiles, and they grow at a temperature of 60 °C and pH 2. They were isolated from hydrothermal vents, fumaroles and similar environments.
The Erysipelotrichaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria.
The Halanaerobiales are an order of bacteria placed within the class Clostridia, and encompassing two families, the Halanaerobiaceae and the Halobacteroidaceae. Originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class Clostridia, according to the NCBI and LPSN, it is now thought to lie outside the Bacillota. Halanaerobiales are halophilic obligate anaerobes with a fermentative or homoacetogenic metabolism.
Methanospirillaceae are a family of microbes within Methanomicrobiales.
Chloroflexales is an order of bacteria in the class Chloroflexia. The clade is also known as filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (FAP), as the order contains phototrophs that do not produce oxygen. These bacteria are facultative aerobic. They generally use chemotrophy when oxygen is present and switch to light-derived energy when otherwise. Most species are heterotrophs, but a few are capable of photoautotrophy.
Syntrophomonas is a bacterial genus from the family of Syntrophomonadaceae.
Nocardioidaceae is a family of Gram-positive bacteria within the class Actinomycetia.
The Coprobacillaceae are a family of Bacillota.
Halanaerobaculum is a haloanaerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Halobacteroidaceae.
The Thermodesulfobacteriaceae are a class of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
The Opitutales is an order in the phylum Verrucomicrobiota.
Thermomicrobiales is an order of thermophilic green non-sulfur bacteria within the class of Thermomicrobia. This order contains one family with a validly published name, Thermobicrobiaceae
