How does Hicoly 4.5 MIU Injection work?

Colistin interacts with the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layer of the Gram-negative bacterial membranes, increasing the permeability of the membrane. This leads to the leakage of intracellular contents and finally to bacterial death. It is highly active against multidrug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and some Enterobacteriaceae.
