Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A fatal case of nosocomial legionellosis in a low prevalence region (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) prompted investigation into the source of infection. Hospital water systems contaminated with Legionella pneumophila have been shown to pose a risk to compromised patients. Typing of an L. pneumophila serogroup 1 strain isolated from the patient using sequence-based typing (SBT) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis linked it to a persistent and widespread strain isolated from the hospital water system establishing a nosocomial mode of acquisition. Different SBT and AFLP patterns were determined for non-epidemiologically linked cases and isolates from different hospitals.

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.
