General description
• Colistin Sulfate salt is a stable, cationic, water-soluble, white powder composed of over 30 components
• Originally isolated from B. polymyxa, it inhibits the growth of the Gram-negative (e.g. E. coli, P. aeruginosa, P. fluorescens, and S. enterica), and Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. L. lactis, P. polymyxa, P. acidilactici, and S. aureus) by permeabilizing the bacterial cell membrane

Applications
• Colistin Sulfate has potent anti-endotoxin activity rendered through its ability to bind lippopolysaccharides that make up bacterial endotoxins
