| Application: | Phosphomycin, also known as Fosfomycin, is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces fradiae. It is used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections. It is used for susceptibility studies of Klebsiella pneumoniae and to study in vitro susceptibility testing procedures for fosfomycin tromethamine. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Antibiotic that concentrates in kidney and bladder; reduces nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of platinum-containing anti-tumor agents. Fosfomycin is a phosphoenolpyruvate analog that irreversibly inhibits UDP-GlcNAc enolpyruvyl tranferase (MurA), an enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. As a result, the production of N-acetylmuramic acid, an essential element of the peptidoglycan cell wall, is inhibited. |
