Also, we expanded our pipeline through the acquisition of NTCD-M3 to take it through its Phase 3 clinical study. NTCD-M3 has the potential to become the leading treatment for C. difficile infections, targeting a market that is forecast to grow to $1.7 billion by 2026. We remain committed to developing our novel products that prevent infections and look forward to delivering further progress and another successful year."
