Specifications
Target Information
Polymyxin E, also known as Colistin, is a multicomponent polypeptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus polymyxa var. colistinus. It is highly relevant to animal-derived food safety because it serves as a "last-resort" antibiotic for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections in humans. In veterinary medicine, it has been used for treating gastrointestinal infections in livestock. Its presence as a residue in meat, milk, or eggs is a critical concern due to the risk of selecting for the mcr-1 gene, which confers transmissible resistance, potentially rendering human clinical treatments ineffective.
