Patients in the present study received both IV and nebulized colistin for multidrug-resistant P aeruginosa. The use of IV colistin was associated with a favourable response, but mild nephrotoxicity occurred in two-third of patients. It was concluded that colistin may be a useful drug when choices are limited.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
