BK, could you provide your source for the 18M figure? Perhaps your number reflects all infections and not the subset of ABSSSI. From the Durata PR for Dalvance:

“For the six-month period of January to June 2010, a projected 9.2 million patients were treated in U.S. hospitals for infections of any type, and nearly 17 percent of the diagnostic category presentations were for skin and skin structure infections (SSSI). Of these presentations for SSSI, approximately 74 percent were disease types included in ABSSSI." So that is 3.1M for SSSI overall, of which 2.3M attributable to ABSSSI. "There were more than 4.8 million hospital admissions of adults with ABSSSI from 2005 through 2011, an average of 685K per year.”
