Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy* men and women aged 18-45 years with no clinically significant findings** at Screening and Baseline (Day -1 to Day 1)

   *Healthy is defined by the absence of any medical condition described in the exclusion criteria in a subject with a normal physical exam including vital signs. If the subject has another current, ongoing medical condition, the condition cannot meet any of the following criteria: 1) first diagnosed within 3 months of enrollment; 2) is worsening in terms of clinical outcome in the last 6 months; or 3) involves need for medication.

3. Females who have been surgically sterilized via bilateral oophorectomy and/or hysterectomy at least 90 days prior to Screening are considered lacking childbearing potential and will be eligible*.

   *Postmenopausal females are not eligible, as the definition of menopause would require age > 45, and all subjects in this study are age < / = 45.

4. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening, a negative urine pregnancy test at Baseline (Day -1 to Day 1), and must use acceptable contraception*.

   *Acceptable contraception methods are restricted to surgical sterilization (bilateral tubal ligation) or successful Essure placement (permanent, non-surgical, non-hormonal sterilization with documented radiological confirmation at least 90 days after the procedure), use of long-acting reversible contraceptive devices (progestin-releasing subdermal implants [Nexplanon and Implanon, Merck], copper intrauterine devices [Paragard, Teva], and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices [Mirena, Bayer; Skyla, Bayer; Liletta, Allergan/Medicines360]), licensed hormonal products such as injectables or oral contraceptives, barrier methods such as condoms or diaphragms with spermicidal agents, and abstinence from sexual intercourse with a male partner. Subjects must have used the above-listed method for a minimum of 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug and be willing to use the method for at least 30 days after the final dose of study drug.

5. Male subjects* whose partners are of childbearing age or pregnant must be willing to use condoms during the study and through the Day 3 follow-up call.

   *including men who have had vasectomies

6. Able to abstain from alcoholic beverages within 48 hours before Baseline (Day -1 to Day 1) and throughout the Treatment Phase.
7. Able to abstain from caffeine use within 7 days before Baseline (Day -1 to Day 1) and throughout the inpatient period.
8. Willing to remain in Duke Early Phase Research Unit (DEPRU) during the Baseline and Treatment Phases.
9. Have a high probability for compliance and completion of the trial.
10. Sign a dated, witnessed, written Informed Consent Form (ICF).
11. Have adequate venous access for infusions and blood draws.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Any surgical or medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator could interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion.
2. Any surgical or medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator may place the subject at increased risk while participating in the trial.
3. History or presence of cardiovascular disease including coronary artery disease and chronic hypertension (systolic pressure > 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure > 90 mmHg).
4. Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening, as determined by the investigator to be clinically significant.
5. History or presence of renal impairment or chronic renal disease.
6. History or presence of liver disease (Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), or total bilirubin above the upper limit of normal).
7. History or presence of chronic pulmonary disease, including asthma, requiring use of medication in the year before screening.
8. History of intolerance or hypersensitivity to phosphonic acid derivative antibiotics or any of its constituents (i.e., oral or intravenous fosfomycin).
9. Have cancer or have a history of cancer within the past 5 years, with the exception of non-melanomatous skin cancer, treated, without evidence of recurrence.
10. Any medical condition that prevents a subject from undergoing bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

11. Serum creatinine above the upper limit of normal, or estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) < 60 mL / min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault equation*.

    *Cockcroft-Gault equation where age is in years, weight is in kilograms, and serum Cr is in mg/dL units: Males: CrCl (mL / min) = (140 - age) x Weight / (72 x Cr) Females: CrCl (mL / min) = [(140 - age) x Weight / (72 x Cr)] x 0.85

12. History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of Baseline (Day -1 to Day 1)*.

    *History of regular alcohol consumption is defined as an average weekly intake of > 14 drinks for males or > 7 drinks for females. One drink is equivalent to 12 g of alcohol: 12 ounces (360 mL) of beer, 5 ounces (150 mL) of wine, or 1.5 ounces (45 mL) of 80 proof distilled spirits.

13. History of > / = 10 pack-years smoking, or history of any nicotine use* in the 6 months before Baseline (Day -1 to Day 1)** or positive urinine cotinine screen at Basline (Day -1 to Day 1).
