a

Screen negative, isolates that did not meet the MIC-based screening criteria; screen positive, isolates that met the screening criteria (i.e., ceftriaxone and/or ceftazidime MICs of ≥2 μg/ml and NF-GNB with ceftazidime MICs of ≥16 μg/ml, and Enterobacteriaceae and NF-GNB isolates exhibiting imipenem and meropenem MICs of ≥2 and ≥16 μg/ml, respectively).

b

Results are expressed as the number of patients with favorable responses/total number of patients in each category (percentage) and represent the ceftazidime-avibactam or imipenem-cilastatin arms for cUTI and the ceftazidime-avibactam plus metronidazole or meropenem arms for cIAI.

c

Patients from whom Enterobacteriaceae pathogens were recovered at the baseline visit.

d

Includes one patient with a polymicrobial infection caused by E. coli and C. koseri at the baseline visit.

e

Includes one patient with a polymicrobial infection caused by aerobic Gram-negative pathogens (E. coli and K. pneumoniae).

f

Patients infected with NF-GNB pathogens with or without concomitant culture of aerobic Enterobacteriaceae isolates at the baseline visit.

g

Includes six patients with polymicrobial infections (4 with P. aeruginosa-E. coli, 1 with P. aeruginosa-A. baumannii, and 1 with P. stutzeri-E. coli).

h

Includes five patients with polymicrobial infections (2 with P. aeruginosa-E. coli, 1 with E. coli-A. baumannii, and 1 with P. fluorescens-E. coli-K. pneumoniae).

i

Includes one patient with a polymicrobial infection (E. coli-K. pneumoniae) with β-lactamase-producing pathogens and four patients with polymicrobial infections (2 with E. coli-K. pneumoniae and 2 with E. coli-K. oxytoca) with MIC-based screen-negative pathogens.

j

Patients infected with Enterobacteriaceae pathogens, unless otherwise indicated.

k

Includes two patients with polymicrobial infection (1 with E. coli-P. aeruginosa and 1 with E. coli-C. koseri) and one patient infected with a P. aeruginosa isolate at baseline.

l

Includes two patients with polymicrobial infections (1 with E. coli-P. aeruginosa and 1 with E. coli-P. mirabilis) at baseline.
