Abstract
Pediococcus species Pediococci are gram-positive cocci that grow in pairs and tetrads and belong to the lactic acid bacteria group. Normal inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract, they are used extensively in industry to ferment cheese and other dairy products, soy products, and alcoholic beverages. Thirteen species of pediococci are recognized today, but only Pediococcus acidilactici and Pediococcus pentosaceus , typically found in sugar-rich foods, have been identified as human pathogens. In recent years, these organisms have been increasingly recognized as a cause of bacteremia, endocarditis, and pneumonitis in the immunocompromised host. These organisms have also been isolated from intra-abdominal infections such as peritonitis and hepatic abscesses. Risk factors for Pediococcus infections include prior antibiotic therapy, abdominal surgery, and gastric feeding. Diagnosis is made by isolation and identification of the organism from cultures of blood or other body fluids. Pediococcus species may be difficult to distinguish from enterococci and Leuconostoc species given its association with food. Approximately 95% of clinical isolates will cross-react with group D streptococcal antisera. Tests that aid in distinguishing pediococci from other organisms include a negative pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (PYRase) test and the absence of gas production from glucose. With newer application of molecular genetic techniques to determine relatedness of food-associated lactic acid bacteria, reorganization of the genus with novel morphologic or phenotypic differentiation of Leuconostoc species from Pediococcus species is being studied.

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.
