Phosphomycin disodium salt is used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections and to reduce nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of platinum-containing anti-tumor agents


Phosphomycin is a phosphoenolpyruvate analog that irreversibly inhibits UDP-GlcNAc enolpyruvyl tranferase (MurA), an enzyme involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. As a result, the production of N-acetylmuramic acid, an essential element of the peptidoglycan cell wall, is inhibited.


It is used for susceptibility studies of Klebsiella pneumoniae and to study in vitro susceptibility testing procedures for fosfomycin tromethamine.
