Description	Unusual 11qj subtype from 1 isolate was identified in a population of syphilis patients in Paris.1 Later on, Mikalova et al.2 suggested that this 11qj subtype may belong to a Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue (TPE) rather than a T. pallidum subsp. pallidum (TPA) strain and was further commented by Lukehart and Giacani.3 Pathogenic treponemal strains (TPA, TPE, T. pallidum subsp. endemicum [TEN]) are morphologicaly similar, undistinguishable by serology and exhibit important gene identity.
