Clostridioides difficile
Clostridioides difficile, more commonly referred to as C. diff, is a is a germ (bacterium) that causes diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon). According to the CDC, it’s estimated to cause almost half a million infections in the United States each year, and about 1 in 6 patients who get C. diff will get it again in the subsequent 2-8 weeks.
There has historically been an unmet need in treating C. diff., with the former standard of care being antibiotic treatment – a method that is ineffective against dormant spore forms of C. difficile, which can germinate and grow after antibiotics are completed, leading to cases of recurrence.
VOWST is a prescription medicine used to prevent Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection from coming back in people 18 years of age or older after antibiotic treatment for C. diff infection has been completed.
VOWST is not intended for treatment of C. diff infection.
