Primary | Number of Participants With the Occurrence of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea (AAD) - Per Protocol (PP) Population | Diarrhea is defined as loose or watery stool (Type 5-7 according to Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS)), three times a day (frequent bowel movements with formed stool is not considered as diarrhea) in accordance with WHO criteria; based on the diary data (BSFS) and confirmation of AAD by the investigator. BSFS scale includes Types 1 to 7 where Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the ideal stools as they are easy to defecate while not containing excess liquid, 5 indicate lack of dietary fiber, and 6 and 7 indicate diarrhea. AAD (antibiotic-associated diarrhea) is defined as diarrhea associated with the antibiotic use caused by C. difficile or of otherwise not identified etiology, upon analysis of stool samples and differential diagnostics according to investigator's judgment. Diarrhea was assessed in a diary. | 14 days | |

Secondary | Change in Stool Consistency | Individual changes in the stool consistency were classified as improved / unchanged / worsened. The calculations were conducted as follows:
if more than 1 observation was available for a specific day, the maximum score was taken; each subsequent day was compared to Day 1 according to the following rules: variations within 3-4 points, 1-2 points, or 5-7 points were qualified as "unchanged"; transfer from 1-2 points or 5-7 points to 3-4 points, as well as transfer from 5-7 points to 1-2 points were qualified as "improved"; transfer from 3-4 points to 1-2 points or 5-7 points, as well as transfer from 1-2 points to 5-7 points were qualified as "worsened". Score interpretation: 1, 2 - hard stool (constipation) 3, 4 - normal value 5, 6, 7 - loose stool |
Baseline, Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 | |
Secondary | Number of Gastrointestinal Symptoms by Severity | The severity of gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, flatulence, abdominal pain and decreased appetite was assessed based on the data of patient's diary. Severity of symptoms was assessed based on the 5-point verbal scale [0 to 4] where 0- symptoms were absent, 4- symptoms were very severe | 14 days | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline in Body Weight | Change from baseline in body weight assessed based on the clinical data | Baseline, Day 15 | |
Secondary | Number of Participants Hospitalized | Hospitalization rate was assessed based on the clinical data | 14 days | |
