In the system output, CFU/g values are log10 transformed.

Abbreviations: C50-Plazo-Kill, plazomicin concentration at which the plazomicin-attributable kill is half maximal; H, Hill's constant; IC5, initial bacterial burden at therapy initiation; Kgmax, first order growth rate constant; Kkillmax, maximal kill rate constant for plazomicin therapy; KkillWBC, maximal kill rate attributable to granulocytes; Popmax, maximal size of the bacterial population; WBCKill50, bacterial burden at which granulocyte-mediated kill is half saturable.
