The characteristics of VIM-1-producing<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>from South Africa
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A study was designed to characterize a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPSA01) isolated from a patient in Gauteng, South Africa without recent travel outside South Africa. Molecular characterization was done using isoelectric focusing, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing for bla(VIM), bla(IMP), bla(NDM), bla(CTX-Ms), bla(OXAs), bla(TEMs), and bla(SHV), plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants, multilocus sequencing typing, plasmid replicon typing, and addiction factors. KPSA01 produced VIM-1 and belonged to the newly described sequence type ST569. The plasmid that harboured bla(VIM) typed within the narrow host range IncF replicon group, contained the aadA1 gene cassette, and tested positive for the vagCD and ccdAB addiction systems. This is the first report of VIM-1-producing K. pneumoniae outside Europe. It is important that surveillance studies be undertaken in Africa to determine if VIM-1-producing K. pneumoniae are present in significant numbers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
