Content: 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. Chlamydia trachomatis, on the other hand, is the most common cause of blindness across the globe. While Chlamydias species are grouped as gram-negative, their peptidoglycan is not easily detectable. Some of the other characteristics of Chlamydias include; they are immotile and are dimorphic in nature.

Gram-positive Bacteria
A majority of Eubacteria are Gram-positive.
