Chances of monurol nephrotoxicity?

I want to know is there any study or trial regarding nephrotoxicity with fosfomycin?
Does fosfomycin trometamol may cause nephrotoxicity? Thanks

There does not  seem much research on that. In one study  in rats, fosfomycin appeared to have no more potential for nephrotoxicity than cephalosporins  (widely used class  of antibiotics)  

See  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7461697
