Colistin is an antibiotic medication that belongs to the polymyxin class. Colistin works by disrupting the structure of bacterial cell membranes, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately bacterial cell death. It's often considered a "last-resort" antibiotic due to its potential side effects and the emergence of resistant strains.
