a

Human exposures for a dose of 2 g q8h as a 2 h infusion estimated based on best-fit pharmacokinetic parameters of cefepime in healthy subjects from Phase I studies upon co-administration of taniborbactam.

b

Mouse exposure estimated based on best-fit pharmacokinetic parameters of cefepime in infected mice.

c

Human exposures for a dose of 0.5 g q8h as a 2 h infusion estimated based on best-fit pharmacokinetic parameters of taniborbactam in healthy subjects from Phase I studies.10

d

Mouse exposure estimated based on best-fit pharmacokinetic parameters of taniborbactam in infected mice. Ratios represent the proportions of cefepime:taniborbactam, relative to the doses of the cefepime HSR.

e

Mouse exposure was comparable to that achieved in humans and is denoted in bold.
