Concordance of targeted and whole genome sequencing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypic drug susceptibility testing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) are increasingly used for genotypic drug susceptibility testing (gDST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thirty-two multi-drugs resistant and 40 drug susceptible isolates from Madagascar were tested with Deeplex® Myc-TB and WGS using the Mykrobe analysis pipeline. Sixty-four of 72 (89 %) yielded concordant categorical gDST results for drugs tested by both assays. Mykrobe didn't detect pncA K96T, pncA Q141P, pncA H51P, pncA H82R, rrs C517T and rpsL K43R mutations, which were identified as minority variants in corresponding isolates by tNGS. One discrepancy (rrs C517T) was associated with insufficient sequencing depth on WGS. Deeplex® Myc-TB didn't detect inhA G-154A which isn't covered by the assay's amplification targets. Despite those targets being included in the Deeplex® Myc-TB assay, a pncA T47A and a deletion in gid were not identified in one isolate respectively. The evaluated WGS and tNGS gDST assays show high but imperfect concordance.

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.
