OnePetri: Accelerating Common Bacteriophage Petri Dish Assays with Computer Vision
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Bacteriophage plaque enumeration is a critical step in a wide array of protocols. The current gold standard for plaque enumeration on Petri dishes is through manual counting. However, this approach is not only time-consuming and prone to human error but also limited to Petri dishes with countable number of plaques resulting in low throughput. Materials and Methods: We present OnePetri, a collection of trained machine learning models and open-source mobile application for the rapid enumeration of bacteriophage plaques on circular Petri dishes. Results: When compared against the current gold standard of manual counting, OnePetri was ∼30 × faster. Compared against other similar tools, OnePetri had lower relative error (∼13%) than Plaque Size Tool (PST) (∼86%) and CFU.AI (∼19%), while also having significantly reduced detection times over PST (1.7 × faster). Conclusions: The OnePetri application is a user-friendly platform that can rapidly enumerate phage plaques on circular Petri dishes with high precision and recall.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
