Novel Polymyxin Combination With Antineoplastic Mitotane Improved the Bacterial Killing Against Polymyxin-Resistant Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Due to limited new antibiotics, polymyxins are increasingly used to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, in particular carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Structures of Polymyxin B2 and Polymyxin E1 [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1964
IN a previous communication1, from the analysis of a partial acid hydrolysate, the structure of polymyxin E1 was shown to be limited to two alternatives, the so-called 7 α and 8γ formulae. By applying the enzyme method of hydrolysis as devised by Suzuki et al. in their determinations of the structures of polymyxin B1 (ref. 2) and colistin A (ref.

Polymyxins Revisited [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 2008
SUMMARY The global emergence of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli has spurred a renewed interest in polymyxins. Once discarded due to concerns regarding nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, polymyxins now hold an important role in the antibiotic armamentarium.
