Colistin sulfate is a potent antibiotic that has gained significant importance in the life science marketplace. It belongs to the polymyxin class of antibiotics and is primarily used to combat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including strains resistant to other antibiotics.

Colistin sulfate is effective against bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are known to be highly resistant to multiple antibiotics.

Additionally, It is widely employed in microbiology laboratories for testing bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics, determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), and conducting antimicrobial susceptibility tests.
