IV fosfo finally FDA approved in US for cUTI d/t E. coli or Kleb pneumo.
-How much will it cost?
-Folks willing to use it for Kleb (or other Enterobacterales) in the absence of CLSI BPs?
-Dose: 6G IV q8h…Tolerability in real-world? 🤔
Lots of questions to consider….

I had this idea basically live on @sidpharm.bsky.social breakpoints podcast with @juliejusto.bsky.social and @brainofbpharm.bsky.social and here it is! Another tool in our stewardship toolbox (thinking about single use plastics!)
@amyhcrockett.bsky.social @pamipenem.bsky.social: When selecting antibiotic regimens for conditions that have multiple appropriate regimens in guidelines, we should also consider the plastic waste--here is the example of chorioamnionitis. doi.org/10.1017/ash....
