A multicentre, retrospective audit of fosfomycin use for urinary tract infections in Australian children and adolescents

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to MDR organisms are increasingly common. The lack of paediatric data on efficacious antibiotics makes UTI treatment particularly challenging. Data on the efficacy of fosfomycin use for UTI in children are variable.
