Binding of antibiotics

Description

When an antibiotic is injected into the bloodstream, a certain part of it will bind to serum protein. This binding reduces the medical effect. As part of a larger study, the binding rate was measured for 12 cows which were given one of three types of antibiotics: chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and tetracycline
