La colistina es una sustancia química polipeptídica cíclica que pertenece al grupo de las polimixinas, con la capacidad de alterar la permeabilidad de los lipopolisacáridos de la pared de las bacterias gramnegativas sensibles [1]. En humanos es eficaz contra bacterias resistentes a múltiples fármacos, en particular P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii y K. pneumoniae, y se considera como último recurso para el tratamiento de pacientes con infecciones multirresistentes [2]. La colistina se ha utilizado en medicina veterinaria como sulfato de colistina durante décadas, principalmente como promotor de crecimiento y tratamiento de infecciones [3].
