Number of Participants With Clinical Success and Failure at Follow-up (7-9 Days Post Therapy) for the Primary Efficacy Population
Days 12-14

"Clinical Success" at follow-up was defined as "Resolution of clinically meaningful signs and symptoms of infection recorded at baseline including a pus/exudate Skin Infection Rating Scale (SIRS) score of "0". Clinical response at follow-up was classified as "Clinical Failure" for all other cases. The SIRS consists of seven items (pus/exudates, crusting, erythema/inflammation, tissue warmth, tissue edema, itching and pain). Each item has a score ranging from 0 to 6 (0=absent, 6=severe). The SIRS total score was calculated as the sum of the scores of all 7 SIRS items.
