These educational videos provide an overview of ExPEC infections and insights into the increasing burden and associated costs of invasive E. coli disease. They also discuss the emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains and the major impact for patients and public health.
E.coli Study for Individuals 60 Years or Older
People aged 60 or older, with a history of UTI, are at an increased risk of developing a bloodstream infection, caused by an E. coli bacteria.
About the E.mbrace Study: The E.mbrace Study will assess the effectiveness and safety of an investigational vaccine in the prevention of blood infections in adults 65 years of age or older. These blood infections can lead to serious complications such as dangerously low blood pressure or shock.
These infections are called an invasive (also known as systemic) infection, often referred to as an invasive E. coli disease (IED). 1 Although IED affects all ages, adults aged 60 years and older have an increased risk of developing IED, which is further increased if you have had a urinary tract infection (UTI) in the past.
What we learn in this study may be helpful for blood infection prevention in the future.
