MALDI-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 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...
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 کاملThe application of MALDI-TOF MS for dermatophyte identification.
Dermatophytes are keratinolytic fungi responsible for a wide variety of diseases of the skin, nails and hair of mammals. Their identification is often complicated, labor-intensive and time consuming due to the high degree of intra-species morphological similarity, and also requires scientific knowledge and practice. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that MALDI-TOF MS technique may be a f...
متن کاملThe use of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for rapid identification of Mannheimia haemolytica
Mannheimia haemolytica is the most important bacterial pathogen isolated from cases of Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). Routine identification of these bacteria is usually performed using phenotypic methods. Our study showed that MALDI-TOF MS is a reliable alternative to these methods. All of the strains analyzed were identified as M. haemolytica. The identification results were compared to th...
