Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Biofilm is a structured community of cells adhered to the surface or to each other and surrounded by extracellular matrix. Biofilm is fomed in several steps starting from single cells adhered to the surface up to microcolonies linked by channels. Because of a higher resistance to antibiotics the current hot topics in the biofilm research are formation of biofilms on medical materials and treatment of bacterial infections associated with biofilms. This work is focused on a biofilm forming bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is a potentially pathogenic bacterium which colonizes the upper respiratory tract and causes a number of diseases. Biofilms formed by S. pneumoniae exhibit increased resistance to antibiotics, therefore, alternative antimicrobial agents have been recently studied. For biofilm formation studies both open and closed systems are used. The flow cell and biofilm reactors represent commonly used open systems. Closed cultivation systems are for example a Calgary biofilm device and a micro titer plate-system developed by Christensen et al.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
