Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical Response: Response Rate (Data Review Committee Assessment)Baseline to EOT (up to 14 days), TOC

Clinical response was evaluated by the data review committee as effective (cured or improved), ineffective (not meeting "effective" criteria), or indeterminate at the end of treatment (EOT) and the test of cure (TOC: 7 days after EOT) based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound images and necessity of other treatment. TOC was the primary analysis of this outcome measure. Cured = clinical symptoms and abnormal findings at the start of the study were disappeared and considered other antibiotics were not required during the study and after the assessment time point. Improved = clinical symptoms and abnormal findings at the start of the study were improved and considered other antibiotics were not required during the study and after the assessment time point. Response rate was calculated from the following formula; "number of participants evaluated as effective" over "total number of participants that excluding ones evaluated as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Was Assessed as Appropriate to Continue Treatment (Investigator Assessment)Baseline to Day 4

The appropriateness of treatment continuation was evaluated on Day 4 by the investigator as continuation, discontinuation or indeterminate based on the clinical response. The percentage of participants was calculated from the following formula; "number of participants assessed as continuation" over "total number of participants that excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

Bacteriological Response: Eradication Rate (Data Review Committee Assessment)Baseline to Day 4, EOT (up to 14 days), TOC

Bacteriological response was evaluated as eradication (eradication, presumed eradication or colonization), persistence, or indeterminate by the data review committee, at Day 4, at the end of treatment (EOT), and the test of cure (TOC: 7 days after EOT). Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, "number of participants with bacteria eradication, presumed eradication or colonization" over "total number of participants that excluding ones evaluated as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

Eradication Rate was calculated from the following formula, "number of participants with bacteria eradication, presumed eradication or colonization" over "total number of participants that excluding ones evaluated as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.

Number of Participants Analyzed for Population Pharmacokinetics (PK) of MetronidazoleFour samples were taken at any infusion after the first dosing: during infusion, immediately after end of infusion, between 15 and 60 minutes after end of infusion, and between 2 hours and immediately before the start of the next infusion.

Population pharmacokinetic analysis of Metronidazole is conducted by combining current study data with other Metronidazole studies.
