Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Clinical Response
Time Frame: EOT (Day 10 up to 28)
Clinical response assessed by Investigator at EOT visit as Cure: complete resolution of signs or symptoms of infection and no need to start another antibiotic.
