Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / clinical trial report

French term or phrase: compris

This is in a note about trial results.
'N est compris entre xxx et xxx UFC/ml'
Would it be sufficient, in (UK) English, to simply say: 'N is between xxx and yyy UFC/ml'?

or is it necessary to add 'inclusive'?
