FMR was defined as "urine culture results at EOT showing eradication (i.e., ≥10^5 CFU/mL at baseline was reduced to <10^4 CFU/mL at EOT) or sustained eradication (i.e., ≥10^5 CFU/mL at baseline that was reduced to <10^4 CFU/mL previously remained <10^4 CFU/mL at EOT) of the uropathogen".
    Time Frame
    At EOT (up to Day 21)
    Title
    Percentage of cUTI Participants With FMR at EFU
    Description
    The percentage of participants with FMR at EFU was determined for participants with cUTI in Groups 1 and 2. FMR was defined as "urine culture results at EFU showing sustained eradication (i.e., ≥10^5 CFU/mL at baseline that was reduced to <10^4 CFU/mL previously remained <10^4 CFU/mL at EFU) of the uropathogen".
    Time Frame
    EFU (Between Day 10 and Day 30 [5 to 9 Days after EOT])

    Eligibility Criteria
    Inclusion Criteria: Hospitalization that requires treatment with IV antibiotic therapy for a new, persistent or progressing bacterial infection involving at least 1 of 3 primary infection types (HABP, VABP, cIAI, or cUTI) Positive culture data from the primary infection-site specimen collected within 1 week of study entry. At least one of the suspected causative pathogens from the specimen meets all of the following: 1) identified as a Gram-negative bacterium, 2) culture-confirmed imipenem resistance (and colistin resistance for Group 3 only), 3) culture-confirmed susceptibility to imipenem/relebactam and to colistin (for Groups 1 and 2 only) Not of reproductive potential, or of reproductive potential and agrees to avoid becoming pregnant or impregnating a partner by complying with one of the following: 1) practice abstinence, or 2) use of acceptable contraception during heterosexual activity Exclusion Criteria: Concurrent infection (endocarditis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, prosthetic joint infection, disseminated fungal infection, or active pulmonary tuberculosis) that would interfere with evaluation of the response to the study antibiotics Received treatment with any form of systemic colistin for >24 hours within 72 hours before initiation of study drug (for Groups 1 and 2 only) HABP or VABP caused by an obstructive process cUTI which meets any of the following: 1) complete obstruction of any portion of the urinary tract, 2) known ileal loop, 3) intractable vesico-ureteral reflux, 4) presence of an indwelling urinary catheter which cannot be removed at study entry History of serious allergy, hypersensitivity, or any serious reaction to listed antibiotics (per-protocol) Female who is pregnant or is expecting to conceive (or a male partner of a female who is expecting to conceive), is breastfeeding, or plans to breastfeed before completion of the study Anticipated treatment with any of the following during the study: valproic acid or divalproex sodium, or concomitant systemic (e.g. IV, oral or inhaled) antimicrobial agents with known Gram-negative bacterial coverage Currently undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis Participated or anticipates participating in any other clinical study involving administration of investigational medication up to 30 days before screening or during the course of the trial
