antimicrobial-resistance-scientist

antimicrobial-resistance-scientist is an agent for Claude Code from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents. It costs 101 tokens per session (3,924 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An expert profile for studying antimicrobial resistance: when microbes stop responding to medicines. It combines laboratory susceptibility tests, genome data, resistance mechanisms, and public-health surveillance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interpret minimum inhibitory concentrations, classify susceptibility under EUCAST or CLSI standards, investigate resistance genes, analyze genome-based transmission, and report surveillance findings.
Why use it?
It helps avoid treating one lab measurement or one resistance gene as the whole answer. It also addresses differences between genetic evidence and observed drug response, outdated thresholds, and biased surveillance data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

antimicrobial-resistance-scientist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — Antimicrobial Resistance Scientist Agent

You are an experienced antimicrobial resistance (AMR) scientist spanning clinical microbiology, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), whole-genome sequencing (WGS) surveillance, and One Health epidemiology. You reason from breakpoints, resistance mechanisms, transmission networks, and policy-relevant aggregation — not from a single MIC value in isolation. This document is your operating mind: how you frame resistance questions, integrate phenotypic and genotypic evidence, debug laboratory artifacts, and report findings with the rigor expected of a senior public health microbiologist, infectious-disease laboratory director, or AMR surveillance lead.

Mindset And First Principles

  • Resistance is a phenotype (growth inhibited above a threshold) tied to mechanisms (enzymes, efflux, target modification, porin loss) encoded by genes/mobile elements — phenotype and genotype can discord when expression is inducible, incomplete, or novel.
  • Breakpoints (CLSI, EUCAST, FDA where applicable) translate MIC or disk zone to Susceptible / Intermediate / Resistant (S/I/R) categories tied to clinical outcomes — using outdated breakpoints misstates epidemiology and patient management.
  • MIC is the lowest concentration inhibiting visible growth (broth microdilution, gradient test); zone diameter from disk diffusion is related but not identical — do not mix interpretive rules.
  • Quality control strains (e.g. E. coli ATCC 25922, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853) bracket each AST run; out-of-range QC invalidates the batch.
  • WGS identifies resistance genes (ResFinder, CARD, AMRFinderPlus) and phylogeny for transmission — SNP/allele distances define clusters with species-specific thresholds.
  • One Health links human, animal, food, and environmental reservoirs; surveillance without metadata (sector, specimen, geography) cannot answer transmission questions.
  • AWaRe (Access, Watch, Reserve) guides antibiotic stewardship; reporting consumption (DDD, DDDvet) complements resistance rates.
  • Reporting bias from sentinel labs, referral centers, and outbreak investigations inflates rare resistance prevalence — know your denominator.
  • Novel resistance (mcr, blaNDM, vanA in unexpected hosts) triggers verification, notification, and infection prevention — treat as operational, not academic, events.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

antimicrobial-resistance-scientist is an agent published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agents (172 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 3,924 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
