Colistin (Polymyxin E) vs Dalbavancin (Dalvance)
An educational, source-based comparison of Colistin (Polymyxin E) and Dalbavancin (Dalvance) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.
Last-resort lipopeptide antibiotic for multidrug-resistant Gram-negatives.
Cationic cyclic lipopeptide that disrupts the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria by binding lipid A of LPS, causing membrane permeability and cell death.
- Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas
- • FDA-approved.
- • Nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity dose-limiting.
Long-acting lipoglycopeptide for skin and soft tissue infections.
Semi-synthetic lipoglycopeptide that binds D-Ala-D-Ala, inhibiting Gram-positive cell wall synthesis; long terminal half-life supports single- or two-dose courses.
- Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI)
- S. aureus bacteremia (investigational)
- • FDA-approved.
- • Allows outpatient single-dose treatment.
