Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Over 20 years old Patients with a fever of 37.5 or more, or any of the following: back pain, flank pain pain, or renal pain Confirmation of pyuria prior to initiation of antimicrobials by any of the following criteria 1) Urine sediment: >=5 WBCs/HPF 2) Non-centrifugation urine: >=10 WBCs/microL 3) Urine test paper method using non-centrifuged urine (based on the principle of measuring esterase activity): Positive ESBL-producing E. coli detected in urine (>= 104 CFU/mL) In cases where ESBL-producing E. coli is detected in blood only, no other source of infection other than the urinary tract is found. within 3 days of the submission of urine culture any of the study drugs must be started. The eligible drug must be cefmetazole (cephamycin), flomoxef (oxacephem), or carbapenem (meropenem). Empirical antimicrobial treatment with other agents prior to initiation is acceptable, but the patient must have been switched to one of the study drugs within 48 hours. Patients must have used the study drug for at least 4 consecutive days (including the day of initiation). Patients who have been switched to an effective oral antimicrobial agent after receiving the target drug will also be considered eligible patients.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with a history of invasive urinary tract infection within 4 weeks prior to onset - Patients with concomitant use of antimicrobial agents (beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, ST-fusions, colistin, tigecycline, minomycin, doxycycline, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin) that may be effective against ESBL-producing E. coli in addition to the study drug. - Persons with a history of hypersensitivity to cephem and carbapenem antibiotics - Dialysis patients (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) - Other items that the principal investigator deems inappropriate for inclusion in the research
