As for E. coli and ampicillin in Table 2, each experiment with P. aeruginosa and imipenem was described by 2 variables: X[MIC] and Y[FC], except that two X[MIC] values were calculated. X[MIC]1 = 1 if the concentration of imipenem used in the experiment ([Imip]) was ≥ 1 × MIC and X[MIC]2 = 1 if the [Imip] was ≥ 0.5 × MIC. X[MIC]1 = −1 if the [Imip] was < 1 × MIC and X[MIC]2 = −1 if the [Imip] was < 0.5 × MIC. (A) R 2- values calculated between X[MIC]1 and Y[FC] (AUC). R2-values calculated between X[MIC]2 and Y[FC] (AUC). (B) R2-values calculated between the X[MIC]2 and Y[FC] values for each hour of incubation. Two-tailed P < 0.0001.
