Mechanism of Action:

Colimixin 3® is a Polymyxin antibiotic. Mechanism of action of  Polymyxins is not yet clearly defined. However it is known that contrary to many antibiotics acting only during growth phase of bacteria, Colimixin 3® kills bacteria both in their active and passive stages. Microbial organisms sensitive to Colimixin 3® seldom develop resistance to it.
