Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections and a frequent indication for antibiotic use. Fosfomycin, an important oral antibiotic for outpatient UTIs, remains a viable option for MDR uropathogens. We aimed to perform pharmacodynamic profiling simulating urinary concentrations to assess the adequacy of the current dosing regimen.
