Probing fosfomycin's potential: a study on susceptibility testing and resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis from prosthetic joint infections.

Background: There are limited treatment options for prosthetic joint infections (PJI) due to multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MDRSE). Fosfomycin (FOF) has gained attention as a potential therapy, but there is a paucity of information on the phenotypic and genotypic susceptibility amongst S. epidermidis, including MDRSE.
