How Frequent Are Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Ulcerative Colitis Treated With Oral Vancomycin?

This study followed seven adult patients with both PSC and ulcerative colitis. All patients were treated for at least six months with oral vancomycin doses between 250 mg – 1,500 mg per day.

All patients achieved clinical remission with their ulcerative colitis. Labs that decreased included: fecal calprotectin, C-reactive protein, the Mayo score, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin.

Additionally, no patient treated with oral vancomycin developed VRE or reported any adverse events.
