Summary

This is a comparative study of the efficacy and safety of tigecycline to imipenem/cilastatin in hospitalized patients with a complicated intra-abdominal infection.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Hospitalized male or female subjects, at least 18 year of age.
  • Complicated intra-abdominal infection is present at most under two weeks duration.
  • Minimal clinical criteria at the time of intra-abdominal infection diagnosis or highly suspected intra-abdominal infection.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Anticipated length of antibiotic therapy less than 5 days or the likelihood that the subject will not complete the course of treatment.
  • Intra-abdominal infection known to be caused by 1 or more bacterial pathogens not susceptible to both of the study drugs.
  • Had accepted non-study antibiotics more than 24 hr within 72 hrs before enrollment except for subjects declared prior failures.
