Cure:Total resolution of all signs and symptoms of pneumonia (ie,CABP), or improvement to such an extent that further antimicrobial therapy was not necessary Failure: Any of the following: •Persistence, incomplete clinical resolution, or worsening in signs and symptoms of CABP that required alternative antimicrobial therapy •Treatment-limiting AE leading to discontinuation of study drug therapy, when subject required alternative antimicrobial therapy to treat the pneumonia •Death wherein pneumonia (ie,CABP) was considered causative Indeterminate: Inability to determine an outcome

An outcome is considered as favourable if the per-pathogen response for that subject is either Eradication (An adequate source specimen demonstrates absence of the original baseline pathogen) or presumed eradication (An adequate source specimen was not available to culture and the patient was assessed as a clinical cure). Here, an adequate source specimen is defined as any sample that may yield the growth of a CABP pathogen eg, blood, respiratory specimens, or pleural fluid.
