Product Description

Colistin Sulphate is a polymyxin antibiotic. It kills bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell membrane.

Pharmacological Action :

Colistin is a surface active agent which penetrates into and disrupts the bacterial cell membrane. Colistin is polycationic and has both hydrophobic and lipophilic moieties. It interacts with the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, changing its permeability. This effect is bactericidal. There is also evidence that polymyxins enter the cell and precipitate cytoplasmic components, primarily ribosomes.
