Since an interaction Lagrangian containing a covariant bilinear must contain also its Hermitian conjugate the Lagrangian is Hermitian, it is invariant under CPT. The minus sign in the transformation of and A is compensated by a corresponding minus sign in the transformation of the vector or axial fields to which they are coupled. The invariance under CPT of any interaction Lagrangian containing a covariant bilinear is in agreement with the CPT theorem, which says that CPT is a symmetry of any relativistic local field theory.
