Primary Outcome Measures:
- Clinical Response [ Time Frame: 7-14 days following end of antibiotic treatment ]The Clinical Response for each patient was determined by the investigator by assessing a patient's clinical signs and symptoms at the specified evaluation 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.
