Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic primarily used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Fosfomycin (with ATC code J01XX01) is approved for clinical use and remains in use today, particularly for treating urinary tract infections.
Intravenous administration to healthy adults; pharmacokinetics after single intravenous infusion.
