Potential of MALDI-TOF MS as an alternative approach for capsular typing Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates
Streptococcus pneumoniae can be classified in more than 90 capsular types, as traditionally determined by serological methods and more recently by PCR-based techniques. Such methods, however, can be expensive, laborious or unable to accurately discriminate among certain serotypes. Therefore, determination of capsular types, although extremely important for epidemiological purposes and for estim...
متن کاملFish authentication by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
Recent EU directives and regulations for quality control and authentication of food products have prompted the development of new methods for large-scale tests to ensure the protection of consumers. In view of this, an innovative method based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has been developed and successfully applied to fish authentication. Highly specific mass spectrometric profiles from 25 dif...
متن کاملMALDI-TOF mass spectrometry as a tool for differentiation of invasive and noninvasive Streptococcus pyogenes isolates
A novel mass spectral fingerprinting and proteomics approach using MALDI-TOF MS was applied to detect and identify protein biomarkers of group A Streptococcus (GAS) strains. Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 700294 genome strain was compared with eight GAS clinical isolates to explore the ability of MALDI-TOF MS to differentiate isolates. Reference strains of other bacterial species were also analyze...
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 کاملRapid MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Strain Typing during a Large Outbreak of Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli
BACKGROUND In 2011 northern Germany experienced a large outbreak of Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli O104:H4. The large amount of samples sent to microbiology laboratories for epidemiological assessment highlighted the importance of fast and inexpensive typing procedures. We have therefore evaluated the applicability of a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry based strategy for outbreak strain identifica...
