Clinical Response [ Time Frame: 7 to 14 days after the last antibiotic dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The Clinical Response for each patient was determined by the investigator by assessing the patient's clinical signs & symptoms compared with the Baseline evaluation. Cure: resolution of signs and symptoms associated with the skin infection present at study admission such that no further antibiotic therapy was necessary; Not Cured: inadequate response to study therapy; Indeterminate: unable to determine outcome.
