Personalizing therapy for multidrug resistant TB: the potential of Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multidrug resistant tuberculosis is an increasing problem globally. The current gold standard in drug sensitivity testing is slow and cumbersome. To tackle drug resistance effectively, a more rapid method of testing is required. Current molecular tests are fast, but only offer information on a limited number of genetic loci. Whole genome sequencing presents an attractive alternative that can provide comprehensive, clinically relevant information on all described loci. Although the standard approach to whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is slow due to the requirement of culture, this article will describe recent advances that mean it has the potential to provide results within days.
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.

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.
