Abstract
Standardized susceptibility testing fails to predict in vivo resistance of device-related infections to antimicrobials. We assessed agents and combinations of antimicrobials against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus (methicillin-resistant S. aureus and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus) retrieved from device-associated infections. Isolates were grown planktonically and as biofilms. Biofilm cultures of the organisms were found to be much more resistant to inhibitory and bactericidal effects of single and combination antibiotics than planktonic cultures (P < 0.001). Rifampin was the most common constituent of antibiotic combinations active against staphylococcal biofilms. Other frequently effective antimicrobials were vancomycin and fusidic acid. Susceptibility testing involving biofilm-associated bacteria suggests new options for combination antibiotic therapy.

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 it
