3. Presence of lobar, multilobar, or patchy parenchymal infiltrate(s) consistent with acute bacterial pneumonia on a pulmonary imaging study (e.g., chest radiograph [CXR] [posteroanterior and lateral preferred; single view acceptable if conclusive] or computed tomography [CT] of thorax) as per local standard of care within 48 hours before the first dose of study drug.
4. PORT risk class of II, III, or IV or V PSI score greater than 50). Subjects may be initially screened based on meeting CURB-65 score of 2 to 4. PORT risk class II will be limited to 25% of randomized subjects.

13. Ongoing treatment for seizures or untreated history of seizures.
14. History of peripheral neuropathy.

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess the noninferiority of clinical efficacy of intravenous (IV) to oral delafloxacin in adult subjects with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) based on Early Clinical Response (ECR) defined as improvement at 96 hours (± 24 hours) after the first dose of study drug compared to IV to oral moxifloxacin in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population.
Secondary Objective: • To assess the clinical efficacy of IV to oral delafloxacin in adult subjects with CABP based on Clinical Outcome at the Test of Cure (TOC) visit, 5 to 10 days after the last dose of study drug, compared to IV to oral comparator study drug arm in the CE and ITT populations.
• To assess the noninferiority of clinical efficacy of IV to oral delafloxacin in adult subjects with CABP based on ECR compared to IV to oral moxifloxacin in the microbiologic ITT (MITT) population.
• To assess the microbiologic response to delafloxacin in respiratory pathogens.
• To assess the safety and tolerability of IV to oral delafloxacin in adult subjects with CABP.
• To assess the all-cause mortality in adult subjects with CABP on Day 28.
• To assess delafloxacin pharmacokinetics (PK) in adult subjects with CABP.
