| Pathogen | Eradication rate (%)b with:
|
P (95% CIc [point estimate]) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linezolid | Oxacillin-dicloxacillin | ||
| S. aureus | 85/93 (91.4) | 87/103 (84.5) | 0.139 (−2.1, 16.0 [6.9]) |
| S. pyogenes | 23/29 (79.3) | 27/32 (84.4) | 0.607 (−24.4, 14.3 [5.1]) |
| S. agalactiae | 7/7 (100) | 4/6 (66.7) | 0.097 (−4.4, 71.1 [33.3]) |
a
In microbiologically evaluable patients.
b
Eradication rate = number of eradicated pathogens divided by the total of eradicated and noneradicated pathogens.
c
Confidence interval based on normal approximation, expressed as a percentage.
