Overall, this is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded (analysis), fifteen-center study using intent to treat analysis. Patients will be identified and after informed consent is obtained, will be randomized to receive antibiotics for 3 to 5 days (4 ± 1 days) after the initial surgical or percutaneous intervention or antibiotics until two calendar days after the patient's white blood cell count, systemic temperature, and gastrointestinal function have normalized (maximum of 10 days). The primary endpoint is the composite rate of in-hospital death and/or recurrence of intraabdominal infection and/or occurrence of surgical site (wound) infection. Secondary endpoints include the occurrence of any infection at any site and infection with antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Patient data through the thirty days following the initial intervention or until hospital discharge (whichever is longer) will be tracked
