This case report demonstrates successful treatment outcomes without recurrence using fosfomycin for cellulitis with bacteremia caused by Campylobacter jejuni resistant to macrolides, fluoroquinolones, and tetracyclines in agammaglobulinemia and bronchiectasis. Whole-genome sequencing indicated the presence of ST137 harboring blaOXA-61 and tet(O), with mutations in the 23S rRNA and gyrA genes.
