Abstract

Fosfomycin, a natural product antibiotic, has been in use for >20 years in Spain, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, and South Africa for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other indications and was registered in the United States for the oral treatment of uncomplicated UTIs because of Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli in 1996. It has a broad spectrum, is bactericidal, has very low toxicity, and acts as a time-dependent inhibitor of the MurA enzyme, which catalyzes the first committed step of peptidoglycan synthesis. Whereas resistance to fosfomycin arises rapidly in vitro through loss of active transport mechanisms, resistance is rarely seen during therapy of UTIs, seemingly because of the low fitness of the resistant organisms. Recently, interest has grown in the use of fosfomycin against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in other indications, prompting the advent of development in the United States of a parenteral formulation for use, initially, in complicated UTIs. Whereas resistance has not been problematic in the uncomplicated UTI setting, it remains to be seen whether resistance remains at bay with expansion to other indications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
