(A) Because for each antibiotic outcome, 4 groups imply 6 different pairwise comparisons, min-P adjustment procedure was performed with 100,000 permutations for each antibiotic resistance category. The P-values derived from the min-P procedure that were prespecified in the Statistical Analysis Plan are presented in this table. (B) Following the analysis within each antibiotic class based on the min-P procedure, a further Benjamini–Hochberg procedure was performed with an FDR prespecified at <0.05 to adjust for multiple antibiotic classes being compared as prespecified, and these values are presented in this table. Abbreviations: A, azithromycin; P, placebo.

*Adjustment of SMALLEST p-value for each min-P Wilcoxon.
