Dear Lucy,
No increase from initial inoculation is the way we interpreted it, if
there is a difference between the time points and initial populations
(which there is that possibility) then the increase should be from the last
time point. We base this on the propensity for the theoretical inoculation
data or time zero population data to be one standard deviation off.
