Effect of benidipine (Ben) and nefidipine (Nif) on toxicity to R. parkeri (Rp) growth. Confluent tHBMECs were exposed to R. parkeri at approximate MOIs of 10–20 in 96 well flat bottom plates, and after 48h bacterial DNA was isolated as described in Materials and Methods and measured by qPCR. Data are mean ± SEM of 2 measurements in triplicate.
