Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Bacterial
Concept:

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are classified by their pathogenic origin to determine proper treatment (e.g., antibiotics vs. antivirals).

Solution:

  • Syphilis is an STI caused by the microorganism Treponema pallidum.


  • Treponema pallidum is a spirochete, which is a type of spiral-shaped bacterium.


  • Because it is a bacterial disease, syphilis can be effectively treated and cured with antibiotics like penicillin, especially in its early stages.


Why other options are incorrect:

It is not viral (like HIV or Herpes), fungal (like yeast infections), or protozoic (like Trichomoniasis).
