Specifications
Target Information
Polymyxin B is a polypeptide antibiotic used primarily to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. In veterinary medicine, it is often used topically or as an injectable to treat infections in livestock, including mastitis in dairy cows and various enteric or respiratory diseases. Its significance in food safety is paramount because polymyxins are considered "antibiotics of last resort" for treating multi-drug resistant infections in humans. Residues in meat, milk, or eggs are strictly monitored to prevent the development of cross-resistance to related drugs like Colistin, which could severely compromise human clinical treatment options.
