T. pallidum shows No Resistance!
Most pathogenic bacteria have transposable elements (which are motile parts of DNA that are capable of transfering genes from one bacteria to another when they exchange genetic information), BUT Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of Syphilis, does not contain these transposable elements which suggests that its genome is highly conserved and may explain its continued susceptibility to Penicillin!
