Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many antimicrobial agents that target bacteria are cationic and can interact with the anionic lipid components that are exposed on the bacterial membrane. Bacteria vary widely in the nature of the major lipid components that are in the cell membrane. Those bacteria with both anionic as well as zwitterionic or neutral lipids can be induced to form domains in the presence of antimicrobial peptides possessing several cationic charges. This segregation of anionic and zwitterionic lipids into domains can result in the arrest of cell growth or in cell death. Such agents are generally more toxic to Gram-negative bacteria, than to Gram-positive ones. These findings emphasize the importance of the lipid composition of bacterial membranes in determining the susceptibility of the organism to the action of certain antimicrobial agents.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
