Syphilis is a sexually transmitted human disease caused by Treponema pallidum, a Gram-negative bacteria which is spiral in shape. Causative agent of plague is rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria referred to as Yersinia pestis. The causative agent of pertussis or whooping cough is Bordetella pertussis, which is a Gram-negative, aerobic coccobacillus capsulate of the genus Bordetella. Kala azar is caused by Leishmania donovani, a single-celled parasitic protozoan.
