Description
Colistin (Polymyxin E) is a potent polymyxin-class antibiotic. It has both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties that interact with the bacterial cell membrane, displacing ions in the lipopolysaccharide layer. This disrupts the membrane structure and causes rapid bactericidal action.
It is highly effective against organisms such as E. coli, Pseudomonas, Haemophilus, Salmonella, and Klebsiella.
