Polymyxin B sulfate is the sulfate salt of Polymyxins B1 and B2, which are produced by the growth of Bacillus
polymyxa (Prazmowski) Migula (Fam. Bacillacea). It has a potency of not less than 6500 polymyxin B units per mg,
calculated on the anhydrous basis. Polymyxin B sulfate has a bactericidal action against almost all gram-negative
bacilli except the Proteus group.
Polymyxin B sulfate is a drug of choice in the treatment of infections of the urinary tract, meninges, and
bloodstream caused by susceptible strains of Ps. aeruginosa. It may also be used topically and subconjunctivally
in the treatment of infections of the eye caused by susceptible strains of Ps. aeruginosa.
