Abstract
Abstract Objectives This study assessed in vitro activities of cefepime/taniborbactam and comparator antimicrobial agents against ertapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacterales (ENSE) clinical isolates collected from the CANWARD study 2007–19, and associations between MIC and various mechanisms of β-lactam resistance identified using WGS. Methods A total of 179 ENSE (MIC ≥ 1 mg/L) isolates underwent susceptibility testing using reference CLSI broth microdilution. WGS was performed using the Illumina NextSeq platform. Carbapenemases, ESBLs and other β-lactamases were identified using ResFinder 4.0. Alterations in ompC/F and ftsI (PBP3) were identified by comparing extracted sequences to the appropriate NCBI reference gene. Porin alterations were analysed with Provean v1.1.3. Specific alterations of interest in PBP3 included a YRIN or YRIK insertion after P333. Results Cefepime/taniborbactam was highly active (MIC50/MIC90, 0.5/2 mg/L; 177/179 isolates inhibited at ≤ 8 mg/L) against ENSE with various antimicrobial resistance phenotypes. Thirteen (7.3%) of the 179 ENSE isolates demonstrated cefepime/taniborbactam MIC values ≥ 4 mg/L and possessed combinations of β-lactam resistance mechanisms, including a carbapenemase and/or ESBL and/or other β-lactamase genes, as well as alterations in OmpC and/or OmpF and/or PBP3. Of the two Escherichia coli isolates that demonstrated a cefepime/taniborbactam MIC of 32 mg/L, one possessed NDM-5, OXA-181 and TEM-1B, an OmpC alteration and P333_Y334insYRIN in PBP3, while the second contained CTX-M-71, a truncated OmpF and a large alteration in OmpC (F182_R195delinsMTTNGRDDVFE). Conclusions Cefepime/taniborbactam was highly active against ENSE with various antimicrobial resistance phenotypes/genotypes. ENSE isolates with cefepime/taniborbactam MIC values ≥ 4 mg/L possessed combinations of β-lactam resistance mechanisms, including β-lactamase genes, as well as alterations in OmpC and/or OmpF and/or PBP3.

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
