a

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.

b

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.
