Antimicrobial resistance to Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Canada: 2009-2013
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: has acquired resistance to many antibiotics, including penicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin. The emergence of isolates with decreased susceptibilities to the third generation cephalosporins and reports of treatment failures in Canada and around the world are cause for concern. OBJECTIVE: and to observe trends in resistance and/or decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, third generation cephalosporins and azithromycin. METHODS: isolates submitted by provincial microbiology laboratories to the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) from 2009-2013 were compared. RESULTS: isolates increased from 0.4% in 2009 to 1.2% in 2013. CONCLUSION: Resistance to erythromycin, penicillin, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin is common. Decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone and/or cefixime is now almost 4% and azithromycin resistance is emerging but remains low at 1.2%. These results have informed the gonococcal infection treatment recommendations in the Canadian Guidelines on Sexually Transmitted Infections.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
