Table 2 Average probabilities (with 95% confidence intervals) that a disease episode caused by a given bacteria (by row) remains untreated either because of absence of treatment or because of ineffective treatment (first two columns), or because of ineffective treatment only (last two columns). The probabilities in the last two columns are necessarily smaller than in the first two columns
