Fosfomycin is a novel class of antibacterial drugs with a chemical structure unrelated to other known antibiotics. It is a bactericidal drug that disrupts cell wall synthesis by inhibiting phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase and thus interferes with the production of peptidoglycan. Fosfomycin is mainly used in the treatment of UTIs, particularly those caused by E. coli and Enterococcus faecalis, and in combination with other antibiotics in the treatment of nosocomial infections due to resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
It is mainly used for infection caused by colibacillosis,salmonellosis,Klebsiella disease,head swollen syndrome,staphylococcus,streptococcicosis of poultry and pig, omphalitis, osteomyelitis ,encephalitis and Pasteurella,vibrio,streptococcus of fish,shrimp and other gram-negative bacteria.
