| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Colistin did not exhibit significant genotoxic activity or carcinogenic structural warnings, was poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, and no tumors or precancerous lesions were observed in repeated oral or parenteral administration studies in rats over a period of 26 weeks. Therefore, the Committee concluded that colistin compounds are unlikely to be carcinogenic. The relevant endpoint for risk assessment was determined to be disruption of the colonic colonization barrier through toxicity to the gut microbiota, with Escherichia coli being the most susceptible. In vitro studies have shown that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC50) against 50% of E. coli strains is 1 µg/ml colistin base. Based on the MIC50 value of E. coli, the Committee converted the upper limit of ADI to 0–7 µg/kg body weight/day (420 µg/p/d for a 60 kg adult) using the following formula: ADI (µg/kg bw/d) = (MIC50 (1 µg/ml) × colonic contents mass (220 g)) / (bioavailability (0.5) × safety factor (1) × body weight (60 kg)). The committee recommends maximum residue limits (MRLs) of 150 µg/kg for colistin A+B in the liver, muscle, and fat (including applicable skin and fat) of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and rabbits; 200 µg/kg for kidneys; 300 µg/kg for eggs; and 50 µg/kg for cow and sheep milk. The recommended MRLs result in a total daily intake (TMDI) of 229 µg (55% of the acceptable daily intake). Calculated upper limits for daily intake (EDIs) range from 4% (chicken) to 9% (cattle) of the EDI. The EDI of 56.9 µg (14% of the EDI) was calculated based on the highest median among the tissues and edible species.

| Additional Infomation |
Colistin, a polymyxin antibiotic, was discovered in the late 1940s for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. After several years of clinical use, its use declined due to reports of significant nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. In recent years, colistin has regained attention as a last-line treatment for infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The high morbidity and mortality rates of these Gram-negative pathogens necessitate antibiotics that can cover them, making colistin a crucial treatment option. Unfortunately, case reports indicate that resistance to colistin has emerged in all three bacteria. While the exact mechanisms of colistin resistance are not fully understood, the PmrA-PmrB and PhoP-PhoQ gene regulatory systems are hypothesized to play a role. Because colistin is a last resort, its dosage must be optimized; furthermore, inadequate dosage is associated with the development of resistance. However, due to the lack of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies and the lack of standardized dosage units, it is difficult to develop optimal dosing regimens and specific dosing guidelines for colistin. In critically ill patients who may experience multiple organ failure, renal insufficiency may alter the pharmacokinetics of colistin. Therefore, for these patients, the dosage must be adjusted to achieve the best efficacy and minimum toxicity. Regarding the toxicity of colistin, most studies have shown that nephrotoxicity is reversible and occurs less frequently than previously expected, while neurotoxicity is rare. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of the two regulatory systems on resistance, and the colistin dosage required to inhibit and overcome these resistance patterns. [1]
