Linear Regression Equations To Predict β-Lactam, Macrolide, Lincosamide, and Fluoroquinolone MICs from Molecular Antimicrobial Resistance Determinants in <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
= 747) isolates. The MICs for β-lactam antimicrobials were fully explained by amino acid substitutions in motif regions of the penicillin binding proteins PBP1a, PPB2b, and PBP2x. Accuracies of predicted MICs within 1 doubling dilution to phenotypically determined MICs were 97.4% for penicillin, 98.2% for ceftriaxone, 94.8% for erythromycin, 96.6% for clarithromycin, 98.2% for clindamycin, 100% for levofloxacin, and 98.8% for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, with an overall sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 98.0%. Accuracies of predicted MICs to the phenotypically determined MICs were similar to those of phenotype-only MIC comparison studies. The ability to acquire detailed antimicrobial resistance information directly from molecular determinants will facilitate the transition from routine phenotypic testing to whole-genome sequencing analysis and can fill the surveillance gap in an era of increased reliance on nucleic acid assay diagnostics to better monitor the dynamics of S. pneumoniae.

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.
