Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Therapeutic Response (TR) (Combined Per Participant Clinical and Microbiological Response) at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit - Micro-ITT NTF-S (IA Set)

Time Frame: TOC visit (Days 9 to 16)

Therapeutic response (success/failure) is a measure of the overall efficacy response. A therapeutic success referred to participants who had been deemed both a "microbiological success"(reduction of all qualifying bacterial uropathogens \[greater than or equal to {\>=}10\^5 colony-forming units per milliliter {CFU/mL}\] recovered at Baseline to less than (\<)10\^3 CFU/mL as observed on quantitative urine culture without the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials before the TOC Visit) and a "clinical success" (resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis present at Baseline \[and no new signs and symptoms\] without the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials before the TOC Visit). Lack of clinical or microbiological success (including missing outcome assessments) was considered as therapeutic failure.

Number of Participants With Therapeutic Response (TR) (Combined Per Participant Clinical and Microbiological Response) at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit - Micro-ITT NTF-S Population

Time Frame: TOC visit (Days 9 to 16)

TR at TOC (success/failure) is a measure of the overall efficacy response. A therapeutic success at TOC referred to participant who have been deemed both a microbiological success (reduction of all qualifying bacterial uropathogens recovered at Baseline \[BL\] to \<10\^3 colony forming units per milliliter \[CFU/mL\] without receiving other systemic antimicrobials \[AB\] before the TOC visit) and a clinical success (resolution of symptoms of acute cystitis present at BL and no new symptoms without receiving other AB before the TOC visit \[or AB for uUTI on day of TOC visit\]). Lack of clinical or microbiological success (including missing outcome assessments) was considered as therapeutic failure.
