Abstract

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a faster and more accurate method to identify intact bacteria than conventional microbiology and/or molecular biology methods. The MALDI-TOF MS method is potentially applicable in diagnostic laboratories to characterize commensal bacterial species, some of which are major pathogens, from human or animal gastrointestinal tracts. The aim of this study was to analyze at the cluster and statistical level the capacity of MALDI-TOF MS to distinguish between previously characterized enterococci and Escherichia coli isolated from wild birds of the Azores archipelago. Soluble proteins were extracted from intact cell cultures of 60 isolates of Enterococcus spp. and 60 isolates of E. coli by an expedient method. MALDI-TOF MS was used to obtain 1200 mass spectra that were statistically analyzed and compared. A total of 215 distinct mass-to-charge (m/z) peaks were obtained, including a peak at m/z 4428±3, which is exclusively found in spectra from Enterococcus isolates, and peaks at m/z 5379±3 and m/z 6253±3, which are only detected in spectra from E. coli isolates. By processing mass spectra and analyzing them statistically with MassUp software, ...Continue Reading
