Sprirochetes
As the name suggests, spirochetes are characterized by a spiral morphology. This architecture is the result of a flexible peptidoglycan cell wall covered by axial fibrils. Although spirochetes are Gram-negative, they tend to stain poorly which makes it challenging to visualize using routine microscopy. In nature, Spirochetes can be found in water bodies, decaying organic matter, animals, plants and soil, etc. Like many other groups, the group consists of both free-living and pathogenic organisms that have been shown to cause diseases in human beings and animals (e.g. Borrelia burgdorferi and Treponema pallidum). Some of the other characteristics associated with spirochetes include: Covered by a bilayered membrane
Some species form a hyaluronic acid slime layer
Movement is made possible by the presence of an internal flagellar filament (causes spinning and flexing about a long axis)

Chlamydias is a group of organisms belonging to the family Chlamydiaceae. They are obligate intracellular parasites of animals and are the most common causes of non-gonococcal urethritis in the United States.
