Clinical Pharmacology

The broad-spectrum antibiotic, a derivative of phosphonic acid, has a bactericidal effect, the mechanism of which is associated with the suppression of the first stage of the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. It is a structural analogue of phosphoenol pyruvate, enters into a competitive interaction with the enzyme N-acetyl-glucosamino-3-o-enolpyruvil transferase. As a result, specific, selective and irreversible inhibition of this enzyme occurs, which ensures the absence of cross-resistance with other classes of antibiotics and the possibility of synergism with other antibiotics (synergism with amoxicillin, cephalexin, pimemidic acid is noted in vitro).

Active in vitro against most gram-positive microorganisms: Enterococcus spp., Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus spp .; Gram-negative microorganisms: Essherichia coli, Citrobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas spp., Serratia spp. In vitro fosfomycin reduces the adhesion of a number of bacteria on the urinary tract epithelium.
