Patients with uropathogen in baseline blood culture 44 43 .9454
ȃEscherichia coli 39 39
ȃKlebsiella pneumoniae 1 4
ȃProteus mirabilis 2 0
ȃMorganella morganii 1 0

ȃPresent ≥100 000 CFU/mL 36 (81.8) 37 (86.0)
ȃBaseline bloodstream uropathogen not present in screening urine culture 2 (4.5) 3 (7.0)
Time to clearance of bacteremia after first does of study drug
ȃMean (standard deviation), h:min 85:45 (62:53) 75:40a (55:15) .5700
ȃMedian, h:min 66:15 68:46a

Overall success at day 5 18/44 (40.9) 16/43 (37.2) 3.7 (−16.7 to 23.8)
Overall success at test of cure 25/44 (56.8) 28/43 (65.1) −8.3 (−28.1 to 12.2)

Reasons for overall nonresponse
ȃUrine culture at the follow-up visit demonstrates ≥103 CFU/mL of the baseline uropathogen; all symptoms had resolved 15/44 (34.1) 5/43 (11.6)
ȃNo resolution or worsening of symptoms of cUTI present at trial entry and/or new cUTI symptoms 2/44 (4.5) 2/43 (4.7)
ȃReceipt of nonstudy antibacterial therapy for cUTI 1/44 (2.3) 0
ȃUrine culture ≥103 and at least 1 symptom not resolved (both clinical and micro failures) 0 2/43 (4.7)
ȃDeath due to cUTI 0 0

Abbreviations: CFU, colony-forming unit; cUTI, complicated urinary tract infection; ESBL, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase.

Excluding 1 patient who cleared bacteremia before first dose of study drug (patient had received single dose of ceftriaxone before first dose of study drug). P value for the number of patients with bacteremia derived using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. P value for the time to clearance of bacteremia derived using the log-rank test.
