greater than or equal to 10 per high power field in spun urine).

3. Has clinical signs and/or symptoms of a complicated lower urinary tract infection
(UTI) and/or acute pyelonephritis that include one or more of the following: fever
(i.e, axillary temperature greater than 37.7°C), chills, malaise, flank pain, back

(dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, suprapubic discomfort, new urinary
incontinence or worsening of pre-existing incontinence) that occur in the presence of
a functional or anatomical abnormality of the urinary tract or in the presence of
catheterization.

4. Has a pretreatment baseline urine culture specimen obtained within 24 hours before the
administration of the first dose of study drug (NOTE: Participants may be enrolled in
this study and start intravenous (IV) study drug therapy before the Investigator knows
the results of the baseline urine culture).

5. Requires IV antibacterial therapy for the treatment of the presumed complicated UTI
(cUTI).

6. In the opinion of the investigator, is capable of understanding and complying with
protocol requirements.

7. Signs and dates a written, informed consent form and any required privacy
authorization prior to the initiation of any study procedures, or has a legally

or study staff, 2) the safety or well-being of the participant's offspring (such as

8. Has received any amount of potentially therapeutic antibacterial therapy after
collection of the pretreatment baseline urine culture and before administration of the
first dose of study drug.

9. Has received any dose of a potentially therapeutic antibacterial agent for the
treatment of the current UTI within 48 hours before providing the pretreatment
baseline urine culture specimen.

10. Has a current urinary catheter that is not scheduled to be removed before the
End-of-Therapy (EOT) visit (intermittent straight catheterization during the IV study
drug administration period is acceptable).

11. Has any history of trauma to the pelvis or urinary tract within one year before the
screening visit.

12. Has any other contraindications to the medicines that are to be used in the study
(according to the manufacturer's instructions).
