Experiments conducted point out that mice treated with statins are more resistant to staph infections. Moreover, phagocytes isolated from these mice had been extremely effective at killing staph bacteria. Basic exposure of freshly isolated human white blood cells to statins in a test tube in all probability increased their ability to kill staph and other vital disease causing bacteria. In every single case the elevated killing supposedly linked with higher release of the DNA-based extracellular traps by the phagocytes. It was affirmed that statins are far more beneficial than just restricting cholesterol production.
