Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of doripenem in participants with nosocomial pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs in which the lungs become heavy; pneumonia occurring at least 48 hours after hospital admission), complicated intra-abdominal (in belly) infections and complicated urinary tract infections (bladder infections).

Detailed description:
This is an open-label (all people involved know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center) study, to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of doripenem in treating Thai participants with nosocomial pneumonia, complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections. The study consists of 4 visits: Visit 1 (Baseline), Visit 2 (End-of-Treatment \[EOT\], up to Day 14), Visit 3 (Phone visit, Test-of-Cure \[TOC\], up to Day 14 after EOT) and Visit 4 (Phone visit, Day 90). Participants will receive 500 milligram (mg) of doripenem as intravenous infusion (directly into the vein) every 8 hours for at least 3 days after clinical response and extended up to 14 days. Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by determination of clinical response. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Arms:
arm 1: Doripenem will be administered as 1 or 4 hours intravenous infusion at a dose of 500 mg every 8 hours in participants with nosocomial pneumonia up to maximum of 14 days. arm 2: Doripenem will be administered as 1 or 4 hours intravenous infusion at a dose of 500 mg every 8 hours in participants with complicated intra-abdominal infections up to maximum of 14 days. arm 3: Doripenem will be administered as 1 or 4 hours intravenous infusion at a dose of 500 mg every 8 hours in participants with complicated urinary tract infections up to maximum of 10 days.

Interventions: intervention 1: Doripenem
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Doripenem 500 mg will be administered as 1 or 4 hours intravenous infusion, after every 8 hours up to maximum of 14 days.
