- •Patient is male (no contraception required) or female and meets one of the following criteria:
- •Surgically sterile by hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy or tubal ligation for the purpose of contraception for at least 6 weeks with appropriate documentation of such surgery

Arms & Interventions
Cefiderocol
Participants will receive cefiderocol 2 g administered intravenously over 3 hours, every 8 hours for 7-14 days. Treatment could be extended to 21 days at the discretion of the investigator.
Intervention: Cefiderocol (Drug)
Best Available Therapy (BAT)
Best available therapy (BAT) will be chosen by the investigator and may include up to three antibacterial agents for carbapenem resistant Gram-negative bacteria, intravenously administered per country-specific guidelines for 7-14 days. Treatment could be extended to 21 days at the discretion of the investigator.
Intervention: Best Available Therapy (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Cure at Test of Cure (TOC) in Participants With HAP/VAP/HCAP or BSI/Sepsis
Time Frame: Test of cure, defined as 7 days after end of treatment, equivalent to Study Day 14 to 21
Clinical response was based on the investigator's evaluation of the participant's clinical signs and symptoms and was defined for each diagnosis. HAP/VAP/HCAP: Clinical cure was defined as resolution or substantial improvement of Baseline signs and symptoms of pneumonia including a reduction in SOFA and CPIS scores, and improvement or lack of progression of chest radiographic abnormalities such that no antibacterial therapy was required for the treatment of the current infection. BSI/Sepsis: Clinical cure was defined as resolution or substantial improvement of Baseline signs and symptoms including a reduction in SOFA score, such that no antibacterial therapy was required for the treatment of BSI/sepsis. Participants with bacteremia must have eradication of bacteremia caused by the Gram-negative pathogen. Participants with missing data were considered as non-responders.
Percentage of Participants With Microbiologic Eradication at TOC in Participants With cUTI
Time Frame: Test of cure, defined as 7 days after the end of treatment, equivalent to Study Days 14 to 21
Microbiological outcome per Baseline pathogen was determined by the sponsor as defined for each infection site. For cUTI eradication was defined as a urine culture that showed that the Gram-negative uropathogen identified at Baseline at ≥ 10⁵ colony-forming units (CFU)/mL was reduced to \< 10³ CFU/mL. Overall per-participant eradication was defined as eradication of all Baseline Gram-negative pathogens.
