Benidipine impairs innate immunity converting sublethal to lethal infections in a murine model of spotted fever rickettsiosis.
Spotted fever group rickettsiae are tick-borne obligate intracellular bacteria that infect microvascular endothelial cells. Humans and mammalian infection results in endothelial cell barrier dysfunction and increased vascular permeability. We previously demonstrated that treatment of Rickettsia park...
