The range is generated around the nominal value (see Supplementary Material, Table S1), with the exception of the number of bacteria and macrophages (nbac and nmac), and is represented as the factors by which the nominal value is multiplied. Note that the explanation for the intracellular-level parameters is given in Supplementary Material.
