Fosfomycin is a phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) analogue that irreversibly inhibits enolpyruvate transferase (MurA), which prevents peptidoglycan biosynthesis at an earlier site compared to β-lactams with no cross-resistance with other agents. Thus, it inhibits bacterial cell wall biogenesis & shows bactericidal effects.
