Nabriva Therapeutics to Present Data at ECCMID Demonstrating Potential of Lefamulin for Patients with Community-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP) and CONTEPO™ (fosfomycin for injection) to Treat Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (cUTIs)
New data continue to support lefamulin and CONTEPO as potential first-in-class antibiotics in the United States that target the most common causative pathogens of CABP and cUTI, including multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains
DUBLIN, Ireland, April 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nabriva Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: NBRV), a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of innovative anti-infective agents to treat serious infections, today announced that it will present data at the 29th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) taking place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands from April 13-16, 2019.
“Nabriva Therapeutics is committed to advancing the health of patients with serious bacterial infections by developing innovative anti-infective agents that address the growing global threat of antimicrobial resistance,” said Jennifer Schranz, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Nabriva Therapeutics. “These data presented at ECCMID illustrate Nabriva’s leadership in advancing scientific knowledge related to the treatment and health outcomes in patients with CABP, the safety profile of short course, oral therapy with lefamulin for CABP and in vitro susceptibility testing and microbiologic surveillance for lefamulin and CONTEPO.”
