Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Male and female subjects aged 18-75 years Have a diagnosis of cUTI or AP as defined below: cUTI definition: At least Two of the following signs and symptoms: Chills, rigors, or fever; fever must be observed and documented by a health care provider (tympanic temperature ≥37.3°C) Flank pain or Lower abdominal pain Dysuria, urgency to void, or increased urinary frequency Nausea or vomiting Costovertebral angle tenderness or renal percussive pain on physical examination. Blood leukocytes above upper limit of normal value And at least One of the following risk factors for cUTI: Implanted urinary tract instrumentation (e.g., nephrostomy tube, ureteric stents), ongoing intermittent bladder catheterization, or presence of an indwelling bladder catheter (Note: bladder catheters prior to Screening should be expected to remove during study period post-void residual urine volume of ≥ 100 mL; Obstructive uropathy (e.g. bladder outlet obstruction, nephrolithiasis, prostatic hyperplasia) that is expected to be removed during study drug therapy; Perioperative urinary tract infection. AP definition: And at least One of the following signs and symptoms: Chills, rigors, or fever; fever must be observed and documented by a health care provider (tympanic temperature ≥37.3°C）； Flank pain Dysuria, urgency to void, or increased urinary frequency Nausea or vomiting Costovertebral angle tenderness or renal percussive pain on physical examination. Blood leukocytes above upper limit of normal value Patients or legal representatives can be able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: Receipt of potentially effective antibiotic therapy more than 24h within 72 h prior to randomization Anticipated concomitant use of other systemic antibiotic drugs during the study period Anticipated continnue to preventive anti-infectious therapy after cUTI patients completed investigational drug treatment Presence of any known or suspected disease or condition as following: Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (uUTI) Fungal Urinary tract infection Perinephric or renal corticomedullary abscess Polycystic kidney disease Urinary tuberculosis Obstructive uropathy(e.g.congenital malformation) unable to remove during treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of patients with clinical cure at test-of-cure (TOC) visit | Clinical cure is defined as complete resolution of signs,symptoms and related laboratory tests of cUTI or AP that were present at baseline and no new symptoms, such that no further antimicrobial therapy is warranted. | Day 7 +/- 1 days after the end of treatment |
