Pharmacokinetics of colistin methanesulphonate and colistin in rats following an intravenous dose of colistin methanesulphonate [PDF]
To determine the disposition of colistin methanesulphonate (CMS) and colistin following intravenous (iv) administration of CMS in rats.Five rats received a single iv bolus of 15 mg/kg CMS. Plasma concentrations of CMS and of colistin formed by the hydrolysis of CMS were determined by HPLC.

Transition of colistin dependence into colistin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
AbstractWe recently demonstrated a high rate of colistin dependence in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates exposed to colistin in vitro. In the present study, we obtained a colistin-resistant (H08-391R) and colistin-dependent mutant (H08-391D) from a colistin-susceptible parental strain (H08-391). We found that the colistin-dependent mutant converted into

Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates
Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the

Risk factors of colistin safety according to administration routes: Intravenous and aerosolized colistin. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Nephrotoxicity of intravenous (IV) colistin has impeded its clinical use; aerosolized (AS) colistin may be an alternative, but safety data are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and risk

Objectives: Colistin is a ‘last-line’ antibiotic used to treat multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, but colistin resistance has emerged. Colistin normally binds to the lipid A moiety on the bacterial outer membrane, where it then destroys the ...

Heterogeneous Colistin-Resistance Phenotypes Coexisting in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Isolates Influence Colistin Susceptibility Testing [PDF]
The polymyxin antibiotic colistin shows in vitro activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. However, an increased incidence of colistin-resistant isolates has been recently observed.
