1.
Leydet Jr B, Liang F
Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis . 2022 Mar; 1:100039. PMID: 35284869
Globally, the () complex comprises more than 21 species of spirochetes. Although the USA is home to a diverse fauna of Lyme disease group species, only two are considered responsible...

Leydet Jr B, Liang F
Microbiology (Reading) . 2015 Oct; 161(12):2352-60. PMID: 26419825
In 1982, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss) was identified as the aetiological agent of Lyme disease. Since then an increasing number of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl) species have been...

Shi Y, Dadhwal P, Li X, Liang F
PLoS One . 2014 Oct; 9(10):e109307. PMID: 25271631
The Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, must abundantly produce outer surface lipoprotein A (OspA) in the tick vector but downregulate OspA in mammals in order to evade the immune system...
4.
Chen L, Xu Q, Tu J, Ge Y, Liu J, Liang F
PLoS One . 2013 Dec; 8(12):e83276. PMID: 24358270
RpoS, one of the two alternative σ factors in Borrelia burgdorferi, is tightly controlled by multiple regulators and, in turn, determines expression of many critical virulence factors. Here we show...

Wang P, Dadhwal P, Cheng Z, Zianni M, Rikihisa Y, Liang F, et al.
Mol Microbiol . 2013 Jul; 89(6):1140-53. PMID: 23869590
Differential gene expression is a key strategy adopted by the Lyme disease spirochaete, Borrelia burgdorferi, for adaptation and survival in the mammalian host and the tick vector. Many B. burgdorferi...

Xu Q, Shi Y, Dadhwal P, Liang F
PLoS One . 2013 Jan; 7(12):e53212. PMID: 23300893
Background: Since the RpoN-RpoS regulatory network was revealed in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi a decade ago, both upstream and downstream of the pathway have been intensively investigated. While...

Seemanapalli S, Xu Q, McShan K, Liang F
PLoS One . 2011 Jan; 5(12):e15830. PMID: 21209822
Background: The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi dramatically upregulates outer surface protein C (OspC) in response to fresh bloodmeal during transmission from the tick vector to a mammal, and abundantly...

Liang F, Xu Q, Sikdar R, Xiao Y, Cox J, Doerrler W
J Bacteriol . 2010 Sep; 192(23):6105-15. PMID: 20870761
The gene bb0250 of Borrelia burgdorferi is a homolog of the dedA family, encoding integral inner membrane proteins that are present in nearly all species of bacteria. To date, no...

Xu Q, McShan K, Liang F
Microbiology (Reading) . 2010 Apr; 156(Pt 7):2194-2204. PMID: 20395273
During cycling between the tick vector and a mammal, the Lyme disease spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi must coordinate expression of outer-surface proteins (Osps) A and B to quickly respond to environmental...

Li C, Xu H, Zhang K, Liang F
Mol Microbiol . 2010 Feb; 75(6):1563-76. PMID: 20180908
The flagellar motor switch complex protein FliG plays an essential role in flagella biosynthesis and motility. In most motile bacteria, only one fliG homologue is present in the genome. However,...
