Polymyxin B is an antibiotic from the polymyxin class, used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. It is administered primarily via intravenous infusion and is approved for clinical use, especially as a last-resort antibiotic for severe infections.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in critically ill adult patients receiving intravenous polymyxin B for severe infections.
