Measure
Standard Colistin Arm
Subjects initially receive IV colistin 2.5 mg/kg/d divided into three times daily (TID) dosing. Subjects receiving colistin will undergo a 2 day up-titration of dose to an ultimate dose of 4-5 mg/kg/day, for a total treatment of 14 days. The drug is infused over 30 minutes on a TID dosing schedule. Colistin
Modified Colistin Arm
Subjects receiving IV colistin undergo a 2 day up-titration to a maximum dose of 5 mg/kg/day, divided into twice daily (BID) dosing, for a total treatment of 14 days. The drug is infused over 30 minutes BID. Steady state plasma concentrations on day 3 of therapy (on 2nd- 3rd dose once at goal dosing) will be measured; specifically, colistin peak (30 minutes after infusion), midpoint (6 hour) and trough (30 minutes prior to next infusion). Colistin
Standard Tobramycin Arm
Subjects receive IV tobramycin 8-10 mg/kg/day with once daily dosing for 14 days. Peaks and troughs are drawn with the second dose of tobramycin, and the drug is infused over 30 minutes Tobramycin

absolute occurrences of adverse event rates are being compared between treatment groups using logistic regression, adjusting for age, co-administration of medications such as vancomycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, baseline FEV1, admits in the previous year, and diagnosis of CF related diabetes (CFRD) as covariates.
