*The value was AUClast. CMS colistin methanesulphonate, CMS-E2 colistin B methanesulphonate, CBA colistin base activity, Tmax time of maximum observed concentration, Cmax maximum observed concentration, AUC0 − inf area under the concentration-time curve to infinite time, AUClast area under the curve from time 0 to last measurable concentration, t1/2 terminal half-life.
