Escherichia coli (E. coli) or IED disease refers to infections caused by certain strains of the Escherichia coli bacterium, some of which can lead to illness in humans. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a 9valent E. coli vaccine in the prevention of the first invasive extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli/IED disease.
E.coli clinical trials are taking place in Little River, South Carolina, to help find potential treatments for the condition.
