Erysipelothrix bacteremia without endocarditis: rare event or under-reported occurrence?

abstract：:Fosfomycin and comparators were susceptibility tested against over 2200 contemporary clinical isolates from US medical centers. Fosfomycin was active against Enterobacterales (MIC50/90, 4/16 μg/mL), including multidrug-resistant isolates. Potent activity was exhibited against gram-positive organisms, including Staphyl...
