The paper, Sleeper cells: the stringent response and persistence in the Borreliella (Borrelia) burgdorferi enzootic cycle, by Felipe C. Cabello, M.D., professor emeritus of microbiology and immunology, Henry P. Godfrey, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology, Julia Bugrysheva, Ph.D. '05, and Stuart A. Newman, Ph.D., professor of cell biology and anatomy, published in Environmental Microbiology in 2017, was identified by Wiley and Sons as one the most downloaded articles in the journal after a year of publication.
