Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percent of Patients Who Display Microbiological Success (Eradication of Baseline Pathogens at Day 4)
Microbiological success was declared if the pre-therapy pathogens were eradicated at the Exit Visit; conversely, microbiological failure was declared if pre-therapy pathogens persisted at the exit visit. The microbiological outcomes were calculated based on an algorithm that assessed whether pre-therapy pathogens were eradicated or persisted as demonstrated by comparative characterization of recovered bacteria.
