Description

Colistin is an antimicrobial agent that has been used for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is a polycationic polypeptide that binds to the negatively charged phospholipids on the cell membrane and disrupts its function. Colistin also stimulates the production of white blood cells, increases the glomerular filtration rate, and reduces inflammation. Colistin is nebulized in order to treat respiratory tract infections, tissue infection, and urinary tract infection. Colistin is a chemical stability drug with a very low potential for drug interactions or adverse effects. It has been shown to be effective against resistant mutants of staphylococci, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains.
