Abstract

Nonstandard abbreviations used: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec); methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA); penicillin-binding protein (PBP); quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR); minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC); vancomycin intermediate-resistant S. aureus (VISA); vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA). SCIENCE IN MEDICINEFigure 1 S. aureus infections in intensive care units in the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System.Data include the total number of infections from 1987 to 1997.Isolates were tested for sensitivity to the following antimicrobial agents: gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and vancomycin.Some hospitals did not test for all of the antibiotics.Reproduced with permission from New England Journal of Medicine (4).A Examples of several of the S. aureus mechanisms of resistance to selected antibiotics (77, 95-97).Pl, plasmid; C, chromosome; Tn, transposon; QRDR, quinolone resistance-determining region.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
