In vitro activity of a novel ketolide ABT-773 against invasive strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Bibliographic record
Abstract
New ketolides such as ABT-773 are a promising group of antibiotics in an era of increasing antibiotic resistance. We tested 704 invasive strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae collected from 1990 to 1998. Overall resistance was 8.3, 4.6, 4.5 and 3.6% for penicillin, cefuroxime, erythromycin and clarithromycin, respectively. By using a recommended breakpoint for susceptibility of <0.5 mg/L, no strains showed reduced susceptibility to ABT-773. ABT-773 was very active against all penicillin-resistant strains (MIC > 2 mg/L, with a mean geometric mean <0.06 mg/L), and against all 33 erythromycin-resistant strains, irrespective of the mode of resistance [mef- or erm(B)-mediated]. ABT-773 is a very active and promising agent against invasive strains of S. pneumoniae, including multiresistant strains.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
