Abstract
Aims: We characterize the epidemiology of Actinotignum schaalii within a large Canadian region after implementation of improved identification methods. Patients & methods: Positive cultures for A. schaalii from a centralized microbiology laboratory in Canada were analyzed. Clinical data were retrieved through administrative databases and chart reviews. Primary outcome was incidence of A. schaalii infections; secondary outcomes included mortality, hospital admission and length of stay. Results & conclusions: 86 unique isolates were studied, 37 bloodstream infections (BSI) and 49 non-BSIs. Patients with BSIs were older with more comorbidities, with urinary tract infections implicated as the most frequent source; skin abscesses caused the most non-BSIs. Hospitalization and 90-day mortality was higher in the BSI group. A. schaalii is an important community-acquired pathogen with the potential to cause invasive infections.

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
