Talk:Polymyxin B

Untitled
This article really makes it sound as if polymyxin B is some kind of toothpaste or laundry detergent. That's just not the case. It is quite specific for lipopolysaccharide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M palmer45 (talk • contribs) 00:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Very good article - only two comments 1. "Proteus group" should probably be "the genus Proteus" or a similar phrase. "Proteus group" is rarely used in microbiology. I can find only a couple of instances in the literature of the phrase "Proteus group", none of these are from the 21st Century. 2. Serratia marcescens are almost always resistant to polymyxin B, and this species should be added to the list of polymyxin B resistant Gram-negative organisms.

Mismatch between chemical formula images and formula in chemical data
Chemical Data C56H100N16O17S indicates the presence of a sulfur atom, which is neither suggested by the structural formula image nor the IUPAC name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.25.94.118 (talk) 07:08, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Small primary source
It is a GABA antagonist and may contribute to seizures and psychosis.

This is based on a 1979 primary source. We need better sources. It was done "In eight anesthetized cats" Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 22:05, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
