Notes.

a

The dilution methods for Bergman et al. (2011), Quivey (2014), Welsh, Kruger & Faoagali (2009), and Ting, Whitaker & Albandar (2016) were described in the respective studies. All other studies were tested according to the broth microdilution method stipulated by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), formerly known as National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS).

b

ATCC, American Type Culture Collection.

c

All studies were tested with Mueller Hinton broth unless specified. Solvent types and solvent concentrations used for water insoluble statins (ATV, LVS, PTV, and SMV) were listed as reported in the various references. DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.

d

ATV, atorvastatin; FLV, fluvastatin; LVS, lovastatin; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; PRV, pravastatin; PTV, pitavastatin; RSV, rosuvastatin; SMV, simvastatin.
