However, old antibiotics, which have toxic side effects, should be re-used because of the lack of newly developed antibiotics. One of these is colistin which has both nephrotoxic and neurotoxic side effects. Especially due to nephrotoxicity side effec, serious problems can be experienced in the use of colistin.
