Hollow-Fiber Flow Field-Flow Fractionation for Whole Bacteria Analysis by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

Abstract: This work proposes for the first time the use of hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF FlFFF) for improved matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOFMS) of whole bacteria. HF FlFFF has proved to be able to prepurify or fractionate different species of whole bacteria. Sample preparation by HF FlFFF gives improved spectra quality because noncellular components possibly present in the sample can be separated from the cells. When a mixture of two bacteria (Baci… Show more

“…The variability of profile patterns within the fractions was found to be insignificant. Hollow fiber FFF was found useful for eliminating non-cellular components from the sample (Reschiglian et al, 2004). Moreover, the separation of B. subtilis from E. coli was also achieved.…”

“…With this respect, several technological approaches have been proposed, such as accurate protocols standardization, bio-inspired bacteria purification systems, coupling with separative techniques, high-resolution MS methods, and bioinformatic tools [92][93][94][95]. Employing the pathogenic bacteria E. coli O157:H7 and Yersinia enterocolitica and the non-pathogenic E. coli MC1061 strain as model samples, we recently proposed the use of chemometric tools to extract relevant information, useful for comparing the fingerprint MALDI-TOF spectra of unknown bacteria with a spectral library, to accomplish robust bacteria identification and classification [96].…”

“…Therefore, complementary separative techniques have been proposed to prepare the sample and provide a fraction enriched in the bacteria of interest for MALDI-TOF analysis. With this respect, field-flow fractionation (FFF) techniques have proved a useful non-invasive sample preparation tool [95], as better described in the paragraph "Bacteria separation to assist bioassays".…”

“…Drawbacks to this approach include the requirement for a highly concentrated sample (10 5 to 10 7 cells/ml for whole-cell analysis), the need to develop complex spectral fingerprints for every target agent, and the possible lack of specificity in complex matrices or mixtures of targets. Flow fieldflow fractionation is being investigated as one way of increasing specificity by separating particles in a complex matrix prior to analysis by MALDI-TOF/mass spectrometry (173,240).…”
