4. Diagnosis of cIAI
EITHER:
Intra-operative/postoperative enrolment with visual confirmation (presence of pus within the abdominal cavity) of an intra-abdominal infection associated with peritonitis. Surgical intervention includes open laparotomy, percutaneous drainage of an abscess, or laparoscopic surgery. Specimens from the surgical intervention must be sent for culture. Patients who undergo a surgical procedure with complete fascial closure are appropriate for the trial. The skin incision may be left open for purposes of wound management as long as complete fascial closure is accomplished. The patient has at least 1 of the following diagnosed during the surgical intervention:
(a) Cholecystitis with gangrenous rupture or perforation or progression of the infection beyond the gallbladder wall
(b) Diverticular disease with perforation or abscess
(c) Appendiceal perforation or peri-appendiceal abscess
(d) Acute gastric or duodenal perforations, only if operated on >24 hours after diagnosis
(e) Traumatic perforation of the intestines, only if operated on >12 hours after diagnosis
(f) Secondary peritonitis (but not spontaneous bacterial peritonitis associated with cirrhosis and chronic ascites)
(g) Intra abdominal abscess (including of liver or spleen provided that there is extension beyond the organ with evidence of intraperitoneal involvement)
OR
Preoperative enrollment where the following clinical criteria are met with confirmation of infection by surgical intervention within 24 hours of entry:
(a) Requirement for surgical intervention, defined per protocol as open laparotomy, percutaneous drainage of an abscess, or laparoscopic surgery
(b) Evidence of systemic inflammatory response, with at least one of the following:
Fever (defined as body temperature >38°C) or hypothermia with a core body temperature <35°C
Elevated white blood cells (>12000 cells/µL)
Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure <70 mmHg, or a systolic blood pressure decrease of >40 mmHg
Increased heart rate ( >90 bpm) and respiratory rate (>20 breaths/min)
Hypoxemia (defined as oxygen saturation < 95% by pulse oximetry)
Altered mental status.
(c) Physical findings consistent with intra-abdominal infection, such as:
Abdominal pain and/or tenderness, with or without rebound
Localized or diffuse abdominal wall rigidity
Abdominal mass.
(d) Supportive radiologic imaging findings of intra-abdominal infection such as perforated intraperitoneal abscess detected on computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance image, or ultrasound.
(e) Specimens from the surgical intervention will be sent for culture for isolation of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
5. Patients who failed prior antibacterial treatment for their current cIAI can be enrolled but must:
• Have a known or suspected pathogen causing cIAI resistant to the prior therapy while assuming the organism is sensitive to ATM-AVI.
• Require surgical intervention.
Such patients can be enrolled before the results of the culture are known (see also exclusion criterion 10).
6. Patient must have or will have a surgical intervention within 24 hours (before or after) the administration of the first dose of study drug

• Patient received no more than 24 hours of total prior antibiotic therapy within the 72 hour period prior to study entry

Patients with AST and/or ALT >3 × ULN and < 5 × ULN are eligible if these elevations are acute, not accompanied by a total bilirubin ≥ 2xULN and documented by the investigator as being directly related to the infectious process being treated
16. Patient has a total bilirubin >3 × ULN, unless isolated hyperbilirubinemia is directly related to the acute infection or due to known Gilbert’s disease
17. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >3 × ULN. Patients with values >3 × ULN and <5 x ULN are eligible if this value is acute and directly related to the infectious process being treated.
