Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of any of the following conditions: perinephric abscess, renal corticomedullary abscess, uncomplicated urinary tract infection, recent history of trauma to the pelvis or urinary tract, polycystic kidney disease, chronic vesicoureteral reflux, previous or planned renal transplantation; patients receiving dialysis/hemodialysis/CVVH, previous or planned cystectomy or ileal loop surgery; known or suspected infection; caused by pathogen resistant to study treatment antibiotics
- Presence of suspected or confirmed acute bacterial prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, or chronic bacterial prostatitis as determined by history and/or physical examination;
- Gross hematuria requiring intervention;
- Urinary tract surgery within 7 days prior to randomization or urinary tract surgery planned during the study period;

- Signs of severe sepsis as defined per protocol;
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
- Known seizure disorder requiring current treatment with anti-seizure medication which would prohibit the patient from complying with the protocol;
- Cancer chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications for transplantation, or medications for rejection of transplantation with 30 days of randomization;
- Significant hepatic disease or dysfunction, including known acute viral hepatitis or hepatic encephalopathy;
- ALT/AST >5 × ULN or total bilirubin >3 × ULN at Screening;
- Receipt of any potentially-effective systemic antibiotic with activity against Gram-negative uropathogens for more than 24 hours within the 72-hour window prior to randomization (exceptions defined in protocol);
- Requirement for additional systemic antibiotic therapy (other than study drug) or antifungal therapy for vaginal candidiasis;
