Mycobacterium mucogenicum and Mycobacterium neoaurum Bloodstream Infection in Immunocompromised Hosts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Mycobacterium mucogenicum and Mycobacterium neoaurum are an infrequent cause of bloodstream infection in humans. When they are isolated from blood, it is not unusual for them to be considered to be contaminants initially. Methods A retrospective chart review of patients diagnosed with M. mucogenicum and M. neoaurum bacteremia was conducted from January 1998 to December 2018 at the University Health Network, Toronto, Canada. Results We identified 28 patients who had bloodstream infection caused by these organisms. These patients were immunocompromised hosts, patients with chronically indwelling vascular access devices or injection drug users. In 28.5% of the patients the isolation of these mycobacteria was considered colonization, 82% of the cases received antimicrobial therapy and in 95% of the patients the central line was removed. Conclusions The removal of the vascular access device and treatment with either single or combination antimicrobial therapy produced successful outcomes for these infections.

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.
