Abstract：
:The international unit of colistin methane sulfonate has been defined by collaborative assay as the activity contained in 0.00007874 mg of the international reference preparation. The definition was based on results from 7 laboratories in 5 countries which carried out assays against their existing national standards. Because of the complex heterogeneity in composition of this antibiotic the international reference preparation was not designated as an international standard.
