Colistin and polymyxin B: A re-emergence

Abstract: One of the greatest achievements of modern medicine is the development of antibiotics against life-threatening infections, but the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram negative bacteria has drastically narrowed down the therapeutic options against them. This limitation has led clinicians to reappraise the clinical application of polymyxins, an old class of cationic, cyclic polypeptide antibiotics. Polymyxins are active against selected gram-negative bacteria, including the Acinetobacter species, Pseudom… Show more

“…Some insightful reviews have assessed the scopes and pitfalls in their broader usage (Landman et al 2008). The chemistry, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of colistin has been revisited from the perspective of mitigating drug resistance (Gupta et al 2009). …”

“…Грамотрицательные неферментирующие бакте-рии, такие как A.baumannii и P.aeruginosa, пока оста-ются наиболее значимыми возбудителями нозоко-миальных инфекций [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. A.baumannii обладает низкой природной чувствительностью к большин-ству β-лактамных антибиотиков, включая пеницил-лины и цефалоспорины, а P.aeruginosa -природной резистентностью к ингибиторозащищенным ами-нопенициллинам, цефалоспоринам, тигециклину и др.…”

“…В связи с этим для лечения инфекций, вызванных данными возбудителями, обычно используются карбапене-мы. Однако в настоящее время одной из наиболее значимых проблем терапии инфекций, вызывае-мых P.aeruginosa, является глобальный рост устой-чивости к данной группе препаратов, связанный с распространением штаммов, продуцирующих металло-β-лактамазы [18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…Colistin (or polymyxin E) is a natural antibiotic that interacts with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, causing increased cell membrane permeability and leakage of cell contents, leading to cell death (5). In recent years, increasing numbers of in vitro and in vivo studies have reported on the emergence of colistin resistance (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”
