Nabriva Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ:NBRV) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative anti-infective agents aimed at addressing serious bacterial infections, particularly in the context of rising antimicrobial resistance. Nabriva's lead product, lefamulin (marketed as Xenleta), received approval from the U.S. FDA in 2019 for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia. The company also markets SIVEXTRO and is in the process of researching additional applications for XENLETA, along with developing CONTEPO.
