Anaerobic infections are very common in clinical practice. Poor control of anaerobic infections in patients undergoing abdominal surgery may lead to the occurrence of complications. The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Levornidazole Phosphate Disodium for Injection in the treatment of patients with postoperative intra-abdominal infections caused by anaerobic bacteria.

Proportion of participants with clinical cure at Test of Cure (TOC) visit
Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution of all symptoms and signs, including the return to normal of non - microbiological indicators such as preoperative imaging and laboratory tests. Symptoms and laboratory tests returned to normal using the following criteria: resolution or improvement of abdominal pain; Body temperature ≤ 37.5°C and white blood cell count \< 10×10\^9/L. persistent or incomplete resolution or worsening of symptoms and signs; or the development of new symptoms or signs and/or the use of other antimicrobial drugs against anaerobes was defined as clinically failure. The percentage of participants with clinical cure or clinical failure at TOC was summarized.
Time frame: 5 to 10 days post-therapy
Proportion of participants with clinical cure at End of Therapy (EOT) visit
Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution of all symptoms and signs, including the return to normal of non - microbiological indicators such as preoperative imaging and laboratory tests. Symptoms and laboratory tests returned to normal using the following criteria: resolution or improvement of abdominal pain; Body temperature ≤ 37.5°C and white blood cell count \< 10×10\^9/L.
Time frame: Up to approximately Day 8
Bacteriological efficacy at EOT visit
Bacteriological efficacy included eradication (absence of the baseline bacterial pathogen in a specimen appropriately obtained from the original site of infection) or presumed eradication (absence of material to culture in a participant who is assessed as a clinical cure). Bacteriological efficacy was evaluated only in cases where anaerobic cultures were positive for specimens obtained during baseline surgery. The percentage of participants with a favorable per-participant microbiological response of eradication or presumed eradication was reported for the EOT visit.
Time frame: Up to approximately Day 8
Comprehensive efficacy at EOT visit
Comprehensive efficacy was evaluated only in cases where anaerobic cultures were positive for specimens obtained during baseline surgery. It was an evaluation based on a combination of clinical and bacteriological results, and was divided into cured and ineffective. The former implied clinical cure with bacteria eradication or presumed eradication. The latter referred to clinical failure or bacterial non-eradication or presumed non-eradication, or both. The percentage of participants who were cured or ineffective was summarized for the EOT visit.
Time frame: Up to approximately Day 8
Bacteriological efficacy at TOC visit
Bacteriological efficacy included eradication (absence of the baseline bacterial pathogen in a specimen appropriately obtained from the original site of infection) or presumed eradication (absence of material to culture in a participant who is assessed as a clinical cure). Bacteriological efficacy was evaluated only in cases where anaerobic cultures were positive for specimens obtained during baseline surgery. The percentage of participants with a favorable per-participant microbiological response of eradication or presumed eradication was reported for the TOC visit.

Incidence of phlebitis during treatment
Phlebitis may be associated with intravenous infusion of highly irritating, high-concentration drugs, or prolonged use, and is one of the safety indicators. The percentage of participants who developed phlebitis was summarized during treatment.
Time frame: Up to approximately Day 7
Percentage of participants who experienced Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product. The percentage of participants who experienced AEs were summarized.
Time frame: Up to Day 10 post-therapy
