The Treponemataceae are a family of spirochete bacteria. [3] The clade includes a number of significant pathogens, such as Treponemapallidum, the cause of human syphilis. [4] [5]
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). [6]

The Thermoprotei is a class of the Thermoproteota.
Treponema is a genus of spiral-shaped bacteria. The major treponeme species of human pathogens is Treponema pallidum, whose subspecies are responsible for diseases such as syphilis, bejel, and yaws. Treponema carateum is the cause of pinta. Treponema paraluiscuniculi is associated with syphilis in rabbits. Treponema succinifaciens has been found in the gut microbiome of traditional rural human populations.
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.
Rubrobacter is a genus of Actinomycetota. It is radiotolerant and may rival Deinococcus radiodurans in this regard.
The Myxococcota are a phylum of bacteria known as the fruiting gliding bacteria. All species of this group are Gram-negative. They are predominantly aerobic genera that release myxospores in unfavorable environments.
The Solirubrobacterales are an order of Actinomycetota.
The Glycomycetaceae are a family of bacteria.
The Geodermatophilaceae are an actinomycete family of bacteria.
The Nakamurella is a genus of bacteria.
The Selenomonadales are an order of bacteria within the class Negativicutes; unlike most other members of Bacillota, they are Gram-negative. The phylogeny of this order was initially determined by 16S rRNA comparisons. More recently, molecular markers in the form of conserved signature indels (CSIs) have been found specific for all Selenomonadales species. On the basis of these markers, the Selenomonadales are inclusive of two distinct families, and are no longer the sole order within the Negativicutes. Several CSIs have also been found specific for both families, Sporomusaceae and Selenomonadceae. Samples of bacterial strains within this order have been isolated from the root canals of healthy human teeth.
The Nautiliaceae are a family of bacteria placed in an order to itself, Nautiliales. The members of the family are all thermophilic.
Hydrogenobacter is a genus of bacteria, one of the few in the phylum Aquificota. Type species is H. thermophilus. This genus belongs to Bacteria as opposed to the other inhabitants of extreme environments, the Archaea.
Motilibacter is a genus of bacteria from the class Actinomycetia.
Effusibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic, spore-forming bacteria.
The Micrococcales are an order of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.
The Nocardiopsaceae are a family of bacteria.
The Iamiaceae are a family of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.
Euzebya is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria.
The Rhodothermales are an order of bacteria.
Tepidanaerobacteraceae is a family of Gram positive bacteria in the class Clostridia.
