The infection is transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person involving the penis, vagina, anus, or mouth.
Treponema pallidum causes syphilis.
Entamoeba gingivalis is found in the mouth inside the gingival pocket biofilm near the base of the teeth, and in periodontal pockets.
Mycobacterium leprae is the bacteria that causes leprosy, a skin disease.
