Notes: *For Escherichia coli the MIC of fosfomycin according to CLSI (S 64 µgm/mL, I=128 µgm/mL. R> 256 µgm/mL).The MIC 50 and MIC 90 of fosfomycin in Escherichia coli was 1 µgm/mL and 2 µgm/mL respectively. #For Klebsiella pneumoniae the MIC of fosfomycin according to EUCAST interpretative criteria (S 32, R>32). The MIC50 and MIC 90 of fosfomycin in Klebsiella pneumoniae was 32 µgm/mL and 1026 µgm/mL respectively. αFor Pseudomonas aeruginosa the MIC of fosfomycin according to EUCAST interpretative criteria (S 32, R>32). The MIC50 and MIC 90 of fosfomycin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 32 µgm/mL and 1026 µgm/mL respectively. δForEnterobactersppthe MIC of fosfomycin according to EUCAST interpretative criteria (S 32, R>32). The MIC50 and MIC 90 of fosfomycin in Enterobacter spp was 32 µgm/mL and 1026 µgm/mL respectively.
