Objectives: The incidence of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae has increased worldwide. Limitations in the development of new antimicrobial agents have led clinicians to reconsider the clinical efficiency of old antibiotics, such as intravenous formulation of fosfomycin, in the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. We investigated the fosfomycin susceptibility of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneurnoniae strains isolated prior to the clinical use of the intraveno US formulation of fosfomycin in Turkey.
