Abstract
AbstractFosfomycin, originally named phosphonomycin when it was first isolated from fermentation broth of Streptomyces species and synthesized at Merck in 1969. The phosphonic acid containing a structurally strained and reactive epoxide ring confers broad spectrum, bactericidal activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria. Fosfomycin's small size and hydrophilicity permits broad tissues penetration. Although only fosfomycin tromethamine oral is approved for urinary tract infections (UTI) in the United States since 1996, the intravenous form has been utilized worldwide for over four decades. The increasing rates of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) infections with few novel treatment options available has spurred the recent interest in fosfomycin. Fosfomycin's high urinary concentration, broad spectrum of activity against MDR pathogens, and favorable safety profile offers a valuable oral option for treating UTI, one of the most common bacterial infections in childhood. The ability of fosfomycin to penetrate biofilm and reported activity against intracellular pathogens may further its importance in childhood diseases such as Chronic Granulomatous Disease, Salmonellosis, and Listeriosis. More data are needed to further define optimal Pharmacodynamic target, as well as Pharmacokinetic, safety and outcomes for repeated oral and intravenous dosing of fosfomycin in infants and children in systemic infections.
