colistin sulfate

Colistin sulfate (Colistin sulfate (1066-17-7 free base)) is a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic from Bacillus colistinus, composed of Polymyxins E1 and E2.

Polymyxin E1, a peptide antibiotic and key component of the cationic lipopeptide antibiotic colistin, was initially extracted from B. polymyxa. It demonstrates effectiveness against P. aeruginosa and E. coli, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 2 µg/ml and 0.8 µg/ml, respectively.

Polymyxin E2, a key component of the cationic lipopeptide antibiotic colistin, was originally derived from B. polymyxa and serves as a peptide antibiotic. It exhibits effective antibacterial activity against the plant pathogen X. oryzae, with an EC50 value of 0.21 µg/ml, and has been shown to both prevent and mitigate rice bacterial leaf blight in greenhouse experiments at a dosage of 200 µg/ml.
