a

Based on available data (no covariates were tested). knetF, net growth rate of a fast-growing population; knetS, net growth rate of a slow-growing population. IIV, interindividual variability; Prop, proportionality; FIX, fixed parameter.

b

The SE for the inoculum and Bmax (bacterial carrying capacity in sputum samples) could not be calculated as these are fixed parameters. SE for net growth rates were <1%.

c

Fixed to estimated values from acute and chronic mouse infection models. The SE for Emax-F (maximum killing rate against a fast-growing population) and Emax-S (maximum killing rate against a slow-growing population), were 2% and 5%, respectively, calculated as EC50,mouse × (plasma unbound fraction656,mouse/plasma unbound fraction656,human), with the EC50-F (potency [50% effective concentration] against a fast-growing population) and EC50-S (potency against a slow-growing population) in mouse being 0.0156 mg/liter (SE = 13%) and 0.0317 mg/liter (SE = 23%), respectively. Unbound fractions of GSK3036656 in mouse and humans were experimentally determined to be 0.792 and 0.838, respectively.
