Colistin is an antibiotic active against several classes of multi-resistant gram-negative bacteria; the drug should be used in high doses in patients on continuous renal replacement therapy, since the drug is eliminated through the dialysis filter. This is an Open-label, Phase 4, interventional, prospective, single-center pilot study aimed to analyze the concentrations of colistin in plasma and ultrafiltrate by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, in 20 critically ill patients admitted to intensive care and suffering from severe infections by multi-resistant bacteria, who receive continuous renal replacement therapy.
