  • Polymyxin B & Colistin Dosing Tip Sheet
    Stanford Antimicrobial Safety & Sustainability Program Polymyxin B & Colistin Dosing Tip Sheet What: Polymyxin B is preferred over Colistin (polymyxin E) for infections due to multidrug resistant gram- negative bacilli at Stanford Health Care. SHC formulary restriction criteria – Polymyxin B 1. Infectious Disease Consultation and ID recommendation for use 2. Cystic Fibrosis team SHC formulary restriction criteria – Colistin 1. Treatment of urinary tract infections 2. Inhalation route Why: Polymyxin B and Colistin have the same spectrum of activity.

  • Polymyxin B* Class: Polymyxins Overview Polymyxin B Is a Polypeptide Bactericidal Antibiotic. the Polymyxins Were Discovered In
    Polymyxin B* Class: Polymyxins Overview Polymyxin B is a polypeptide bactericidal antibiotic. The polymyxins were discovered in 1947 and introduced to the medical community in the 1950s. Colistin, also called polymyxin E and its parenteral form, colistimethate, are related polymyxins. Polymyxins can be administered orally, topically or parenterally, including intrathecally and intraperitoneally. However parenteral administration is primarily used in life threatening infections caused by Gram-negative bacilli or Pseudomonas species that are resistant to other drugs. Polymyxins exert their effect on the bacterial cell membrane by affecting phospholipids and interfering with membrane function and permeability, which results in cell death. Polymyxins are more effective against Gram-negative than Gram- positive bacteria and are effective against all Gram-negative bacteria except Proteus species. These antibiotics act synergistically with potentiated sulfonamides, tetracyclines and certain other antimicrobials. Polymyxins also limit activity of endotoxins in body fluids and therefore, may be beneficial in therapy for endotoxemia. Polymyxins are not well absorbed into the blood after either oral or topical administration. Polymyxins bind to cell membranes, purulent exudates and tissue debris. The drugs are eliminated from the kidneys with approximately sixty percent of polymyxin B and ninety percent of colistin excreted unchanged. Polymyxins are considered nephrotoxic and neurotoxic and neuromuscular blockade is seen at higher concentrations. In reality, the potential for nephrotoxicity is minimal when the drugs are utilized properly, especially colistin. Polymyxin B is a potent releaser of histamines and hypersensitivity reactions can occur. Parenteral polymyxins are often characterized by intense pain at the injection site. Divalent cations, unsaturated fatty acids and quaternary ammonium compounds inhibit the activity of polymyxins.

Here, we investigated the impact of various antimicrobials, alone and in combination, via the in vitro testing of CoR-PA clinical isolates. Eighteen CoR-PA isolates were obtained from patients treated at Phramongkutklao Hospital from January 2010 through June 2019; these were classified into six different clonal types by using the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR method, with a high prevalence of Group A (27.8%). The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined as the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) using the epsilometer-test (E-test) method. The synergistic activities of six antimicrobial combinations were reported via the fractional-inhibitory-concentration index.

    antibiotics Article The Effect of Colistin Treatment on the Selection of Colistin-Resistant Escherichia coli in Weaner Pigs Shahana Ahmed 1, Claus Hansen 2 , Ane Laursen Dahlkilde 1, Ana Herrero-Fresno 1, Ken Steen Pedersen 1, Jens Peter Nielsen 1 and John Elmerdahl Olsen 1,* 1 Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg C, Denmark; [email protected] (S.A.); [email protected] (A.L.D.); [email protected] (A.H.-F.); [email protected] (K.S.P.); [email protected] (J.P.N.) 2 Danish Agriculture & Food Council, SEGES Pig Research Centre, 1609 Copenhagen V, Denmark; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +45-35-33-27-84 Abstract: The treatment of diarrhea in the postweaning period is a common reason for the use of antimicrobials in pig production, and Escherichia coli is the single most important causative agent for this condition. Colistin has recently been classified as a critically important antimicrobial for human health, as it is a last-resort drug against certain multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the use of colistin has been significantly reduced in some countries, including Denmark. Despite this, the drug is still commonly used to treat diarrhea in pigs in many countries, and there is a need to understand the risks associated with this practice. We performed a prospective cohort study to investigate the effect of colistin treatment on the changes in the average minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in commensal E. coli in a pig herd where no colistin-resistant bacteria were Citation: Ahmed, S.; Hansen, C.; detectable before treatment.

  • Colistin (Polymyxin E Or Colistimethate)
    ColistinColistin (Polymyxin (Polymyxin E or Colistimethate) E or Colistimethate) IV Only Use requires formal ID Consult Colistin (also known as Polymyxin E or Colistimethate) and Polymyxin B are the two different polymyxin antibiotics. Colistin is a prodrug (Colistimethate sodium). The product vials may be labeled as International Units (IU) of prodrug, or mg of the active product: colistin base activity (CBA). To avoid major dosing errors, carefully read vial labels. Recommend that all doses be converted to mg of CBA. Conversion: 1,000,000 units of Colistimethate (prodrug) = 80 mg of Colistimethate (prodrug) = 30 mg of colistin base activity (CBA) Activity: Coverage against most gram-negatives, including many multi-drug resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae (such as E. coli, Klebsiella spp.; including ESBL-producing and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae), Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter spp. NOT ACTIVE against Proteus spp., Serratia spp., Providencia spp, Burkholderia spp, Stenotrophomonas spp, gram-negative cocci, gram-positive organisms, or anaerobes Criteria for Use: Treatment of infections due to MDR Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter spp. with no other treatment options Treatment of UTI. Colistin preferred over polymyxin B for UTIs Unacceptable Uses: Empiric treatment of suspected gram-negative infections Use as monotherapy due to rapid resistance development Dosing in Adults: Optimal dosing regimens are not well established Standard dose: 5 mg CBA/kg ONCE (load), then 2.5 mg CBA/kg Q12H Renal dose

The incidence of intensive care unit (ICU)–acquired infec- tions caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative pathogens that may cause pneumonia/ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), bac- teremia, meningitis, urinary tract infections, and central venous cathe- ter-related infections has been on the increase worldwide in the past 10 years [2,3]. For this reason, old antibiotics, such as polymyxin E (colistin) or polymyxin B, have come back [4]. There have been many clinical re- ports on the successful use of colistin or polymyxin B against infections caused by MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumonia strains. Studies investigating the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of polymyxins against these MDR pathogens indi- cate their activity.
