Polymyxin B1(CAT: R000908) is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic belonging to the polymyxin family, isolated from Bacillus polymyxa. It exerts potent bactericidal activity against Gram-negative bacteria by binding to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids in the bacterial outer membrane, leading to membrane disruption and cell death. Polymyxin B1 is widely studied in infectious disease research as both an antimicrobial agent and a tool to probe bacterial membrane biology. Due to its nephrotoxic and neurotoxic potential, it is primarily used in research rather than clinical settings. Polymyxin B1 is valuable in microbiology, antibiotic resistance studies, and drug development targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens.
