- In a pre-specified analysis of the subgroup with MRSA infections- the clinical responder rate @day14 (74.1% vs 31.3%). The Exebacase demonstrated a reduction in the 30-day all-cause mortality- 4days reduction in length of hospital stay- and reductions in 30-day hospital readmission rates in MRSA-infected patients
