a

The participant had a polymicrobial infection, including an infection caused by a qualifying P. aeruginosa isolate, but was unevaluable for the mMITT population due to the presence of colistin-nonsusceptible K. pneumoniae.

b

cIAI, complicated intra-abdominal infection; CLSI, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute; cUTI, complicated urinary tract infection; EUCAST, European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing; HABP, hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia; I, intermediate; IMI-REL, imipenem-cilastatin plus relebactam; mMITT, microbiological modified intent-to-treat; R, resistant; S, susceptible; SmMITT, supplemental microbiological modified intent-to-treat; TG, treatment group; VABP, ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.

c

Data in boldface indicate differences in susceptibility test interpretation (susceptible versus intermediate versus resistant) between the local laboratory and central laboratory, based on MIC values.
