Abstract
Over the past decade, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) has gained recognition as a major opportunistic pathogen of the respiratory tract that imposes a substantial global burden of disease, owing to a high rate of morbidity and ensuing complications. Further amplifying the global impact of NTHi infections is the increasing spectrum and prevalence of antibiotic resistance, leading to higher rates of treatment failure with first- and second-line antibiotics regimes. The threat of antibiotic resistance was recognised by the World Health Organization in 2017, listing NTHi as a priority pathogen for which new therapies are urgently needed. Despite significant efforts, there are currently no effective vaccine strategies available that can slow the growing burden of NTHi disease. Consequently, alternative preventative or therapeutic approaches that do not rely on antibiotic susceptibility or stable vaccine targets are becoming more attractive. The nutritional dependency for haem at all stages of NTHi pathogenesis exposes a vulnerability that may be exploited for the development of such therapies. This article will discuss the therapeutic potential of strategies that limit NTHi access to this vital nutrient, with particular focus on a novel bacteriotherapeutic approach under development.

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
