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.

How does commutative property work?
if a,b are any two numbers then a+b=b+a
How do you work out a formula for a in terms of b when a is inversely proportional to b?
a = k/b when a is inversely proportional to b, where k is a constant.
A finishes the work in 10 days and B in 8 days individually If A works for only 6 days then how many days should B work to complete A's work?
In one day A does 10% of the work and B does 12½%, so after A's 6 days he has done 60%, leaving 40% for B who will need three-and-a-fifth days to complete the work.
Can bacitracin be used in place of polysporin?
Bacitracin can be used as an alternative to Polysporin, but there are important differences to consider. Polysporin contains two antibiotics (bacitracin and polymyxin B) that work together to provide a broader spectrum of bacterial coverage, while bacitracin alone targets specific bacteria. If the infection is caused by bacteria susceptible to bacitracin, it may be effective; however, for broader coverage, Polysporin is typically preferred. Always consult a healthcare professional before making any substitutions in antibiotic treatments.
How do the squares of sums and differences relate?
(a + b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 or you can work like this: [a + (-b)]^2 = a^2 + 2a(-b) + (-b)^2 (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

Polymixin b is better than polymixin e?
Polymyxin B and Polymyxin E (also known as Colistin) are both antibiotics used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Polymyxin B is often preferred in clinical settings due to its more favorable pharmacokinetic profile, including better tissue penetration and lower nephrotoxicity compared to Colistin. Additionally, Polymyxin B has a more established safety profile and is less likely to cause neurotoxicity. Therefore, while both are effective, Polymyxin B is often considered the better option in certain therapeutic contexts.
Can you use neomycin and polymyxin b on your dog?

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!
