Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including Fosfomycin. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.

Repeated daily doses of Fosfomycin did not improve the clinical success or microbiological eradication rates compared to single dose therapy, but did increase the incidence of adverse events.Interaction
