The mean and median parameter estimates, and their standard deviations, obtained from the population PK models fit to cefepime and enmetazobactam total drug concentration-time profiles. The point estimates of the population median parameter values for both cefepime and enmetazobactam were used for the PK modeling and estimation of drug exposure.
SCL is the first-order clearance of enmetazobactam from the central compartment; V is the volume of the central compartment; kcp, kpc, kcd, and kdc are the first-order intercompartmental rate constants.
