摘　　要：Colistin sulfate is an antibiotic in the polymyxin family that is utilized as a last-resort therapy for septicemia in humans caused by multidrugresistant infections.However,its indiscriminate use in veterinary practices poses an increasingly significant risk to the development of colistin resistance and its detrimental effects on public health.Colistin is still widely used in animals for treatment,metaphylaxis,prophylaxis,and growth promotion despite being designated a critically important antimicrobial for human medicine by the World Health Organization(WHO)[1].In this correspondence,our objective is to examine the repercussions stemming from the illicit use of colistin in livestock and poultry in Nepal.
