^aFecal plaque assays (FPAs)

^bCapillary feeder (CAFE)

^cSee experimental procedures for specifics regarding the methods. The medium contained either an equal volume of DMSO vehicle, 5 mg/mL metoprolol, or 100 μg/mL nebivolol

^dColumn values are not significantly different, as determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test
