Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Susceptability Changes in Streptococcus Pneumoniae Distal to the Site of InstillationDay 0 and Day 42

Susceptibility change refers to a change in vulnerability of a specified bacterial strain to antibiotic treatment. Susceptibility was assessed by broth microdilution methods recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

0% = zero isolates were resistant to antibiotic 100% = all isolates were resistant to antibiotic

Susceptability Changes in Staphylococcus Aureus Distal to the Site of InstillationDay 0, Day 42

Susceptibility change refers to a change in vulnerability of a specified bacterial strain to antibiotic treatment. Susceptibility was assessed by broth microdilution methods recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

0% = zero isolates were resistant to antibiotic 100% = all isolates were resistant to antibiotic

Susceptability Changes in Haemophilus Influenzae Distal to the Site of InstillationDay 0, Day 42

Susceptibility change refers to a change in vulnerability of a specified bacterial strain to antibiotic treatment. Susceptibility was assessed by broth microdilution methods recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).

0% = zero isolates were resistant to antibiotic 100% = all isolates were resistant to antibiotic
