  • There has been a surge in the multidrug-resistant extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia Coli (ExPEC).

  • Hence, to develop a commercial vaccine for extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), Sanofi partnered with Janssen and invested $175 million upfront.

  • The surge in multidrug-resistant ExPEC strains has led to higher mortality rates, reflecting the challenges in treatment.

  • Rising cases of invasive E. coli disease threaten older adults;

  • Also, multidrug-resistant strains exacerbate mortality, underscoring treatment challenges.

  • Recognizing this pressing issue, Sanofi's partnership with Janssen aims to deliver superior healthcare solutions, including a commercial vaccine for extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC).

  • This collaboration will address the rising impact of ExPEC-related sepsis and mortality.

  • And it also aligns with efforts:

  1. To ease the burden on healthcare systems

  2. To improve public health

  3. To enhance the well-being and longevity of the global elderly population.
