Fosfomycin susceptibility testing and resistance mechanisms in Enterobacterales in South Africa

Fosfomycin susceptibility testing and resistance mechanisms in Enterobacterales in South Africa

Background: Fosfomycin treatment of urinary tract infections is increasingly attractive due to escalating antibiotic resistance rates among urinary pathogens. Standard antibiotic susceptibility testing methods perform poorly for fosfomycin as there is poor correlation between susceptibility results...
