Louise Hill Presents NeoVanc Sub-study Results at ESPID 2020

2020

Louise Hill presented the findings of a NeoVanc sub-study at ESPID’s 2020 Virtual Meeting in late October. Below is a summary of the study and findings.

Enterococcus (a bacterium) and candida (a fungus) can sometimes be found on or in the human body.  Occasionally enterococci can develop resistance to one of the antibiotics usually used to treat it – vancomycin.

Vancomycin use has been linked to a rise in vancomycin-resistant enterococci and candida on or in the bodies of babies admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.
