Rosuvastatin as forthcoming antibiotic or as adjuvant additive agent: In vitro novel antibacterial study

摘要

INTRODUCTION:Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering agent that inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase leading to a reduction of cholesterol biosynthesis. Many studies have shown an association between statins use and the reduction of sepsis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro combined antibacterial activity of rosuvastatin and cefixime.
