aDilution factor represents the last dilution step of the serum samples in which drug activity was still observed in the bioassay. (Drug levels in mouse serum are estimated by multiplying the dilution factor by the MIC value of the drug in absence of serum).
bRating of bioavailability: low: activity of drug can be seen in 1 or 2 wells of the bioassay; medium: activity of drug can be seen in 3 or 4 wells of the bioassay; high: activity of drug can be seen in 5 or 6 wells.
