Table 6.

Occurrence of secretion system components in ten Treponema species with numbers of transport proteins in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains. Transporters marked in purple are pathogen-specific; those marked in green are specific to non-pathogens, and those in orange are present in both pathogens and non-pathogens.
