We present here a new passive-filtration-based culture device combined with rapid identification with a new electron microscope (Hitachi TM4000) for the detection and culture of species from the human oral cavity. Of the 44 oral samples cultivated, 15 (34%) were found to be positive for using electron microscopy and were also culture positive. All were subcultured on agar plates; based on genome sequencing and analyses, 10 were strains of and 5 were strains of The 29 samples that were negative for remained culture negative. In addition, 14 species ordered from the DSMZ collection were cultured in the T-Raoult culture medium optimized here. Finally, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used and 30 novel spectra were added to the MALDI-TOF MS database. We have successfully developed a new and effective method for treponemal detection, culture, and identification.
