How does Polymyxin B work?

Polymyxin B works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to cell death. It binds to the lipid A portion of lipopolysaccharides in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, destabilizing the membrane structure. This action increases membrane permeability, allowing essential cellular contents to leak out and ultimately resulting in the bacteria's lysis. Polymyxin B is primarily effective against certain Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.

Does Neomycin or Polymyxin B have penicillin in it?

Polymyxin B does not have penicillin in it, I just called my local pharmacy to ask that question and the answer is no. I should note, however, that the reason I called my pharmacist was because I used a topical ointment that contained Polymyxin B and had a very severe allergic reaction immediately after applying the ointment. I have anaphylaxis to penicillin and thought it may contain penicillin, but the pharmacist tells me it does not. He did advise me to go see my allergist again as I may have developed an allergy to another antibiotic but assured me there is no penicillin in Polymyxin B. Can't help with Neomycin, sorry!
