Killing behaviour of fosfomycin does not only differ between species but also within species and may have an impact on the design of optimal dosing regimens. Although fosfomycin was bactericidal against all strains (re)growth of resistant subpopulations occurred relatively fast. This may limit the use of fosfomycin as a single drug therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
