CURE Quote
In many trials, clinical or microbiological cure is used as efficacy endpoint in the development of antimicrobial treatments [14]. While microbiological cure is defined as eradication of the infection pathogen, a definition for clinical cure is difficult to find. Clinical signs and symptoms may vary depending on the infectious process studied, but also because of concurrent adverse events during the stay in the ICU. Mostly, it is defined as complete resolution of signs and symptoms of the infection or no further antimicrobial treatment being needed.
