Identification of fungal microorganisms by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has emerged as a reliable tool for fast identification and classification of microorganisms. In this regard, it represents a strong challenge to microscopic and molecular biology methods. Nowadays, commercial MALDI systems are accessible for biological research work as well as for diagnostic applications...
متن کاملMALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry for the Rapid Identification of Tick
24 A method for rapid species identification of ticks may help clinicians predict the disease outcomes 25 of patients with tick bites and may inform the decision as to whether to administer post-exposure 26 prophylactic antibiotic treatment. We aimed to establish a MALDI-TOF MS spectra database based 27 on the analysis of the legs of 6 tick vectors: Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus sanguineu...
متن کاملMALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for direct bacterial identification
18 An ammonium chloride erythrocytes-lysing procedure was used to prepare a bacterial pellet 19 from positive blood cultures for direct MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis. 20 Identification was obtained for 78.7% of pellets. Moreover, 99% of MALDI-TOF 21 identifications were congruent at species level when considering valid scores. This fast and 22 accurate method is promising. 23
متن کاملRoutine identification of Nocardia species by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
We here show adequate species identification for bacterial isolates of the genus Nocardia spp. through VITEK mass spectrometry. Application of a specific sample preparation method in combination with a robust matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) database leads to 94% accurate identification to the species level on a set of 164 isolates. The...
متن کاملRapid MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identification of Leptospira organisms.
Leptospirosis is a worldwide deadly zoonotic disease. Accurate identification of the causative Leptospira spp. spirochetes ascertains the pathogenic status of the isolates, identifies potential source of infection and recognises outbreaks. Species identification is currently based on technically demanding, time and resources consuming serological and molecular methods. Matrix-assisted laser des...
