a. A subject may be enrolled before the results of the pre-therapy urine culture is known, but the subject should be withdrawn from the study if the culture does not yield at least one but not more than two qualifying Gram-negative uropathogens at ≥10 to the power 5 CFU/mL or if the culture yields Gram-positive uropathogens.
b. A subject with lower cUTI or pyelonephritis (complicated or uncomplicated) who has failed a previous antibacterial treatment regimen is eligible provided a urine specimen is positive for one and not more than two bacterial Gram-negative uropathogens at ≥10 to the power 5 CFU/mL. Subjects who are treatment failures due to imipenem-cilastatin should not be enrolled.
