Polymyxin B Sulfate also known as Aerosporin is a synthetic antibiotic developed in the late 1940s, encompassing a combination of two antibiotics, ampicillin and sulbactam. It has been widely utilized in scientific research for in vitro applications. In vitro, it has been employed to investigate the effects of antibiotics on bacterial cultures and human cells.Polymyxin B Sulfate exhibits broad-spectrum activity against a diverse range of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains.The mode of action of Polymyxin B Sulfate involves hindering bacterial growth through multiple mechanisms. It interferes with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, impeding their formation and hindering bacterial replication. Additionally, Polymyxin B Sulfate disrupts the synthesis of bacterial DNA, thwarting bacterial reproduction.
