In vitro and in vivo study of fosfomycin in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia.

W Y Lau, C H Teoh-Chan, S T Fan, K F Lau.   

Abstract

Five hundred strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were tested against various anti-staphylococcal agents. Vancomycin, fusidic acid and fosfomycin were found to be the most effective. Only 1 strain out of 500 was resistant to fosfomycin. Three patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia were successfully treated by fosfomycin. We conclude that fosfomycin could be the drug of choice for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
