In vitro evaluation of the activities of azithromycin alone and combined with pyrimethamine against Toxoplasma gondii

Abstract

By using an in vitro microassay to assess drug interaction, azithromycin combined to pyrimethamine was found more active than pyrimethamine alone against Toxoplasma gondii, and additivity between those drugs was demonstrated. Our results show that the combination of azithromycin and pyrimethamine may lead to a more rapid control of T. gondii.
