Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for rapid identification of Mycobacterium abscessus

Abstract: MALDI-TOF MS offers a rapid and inexpensive method for identification of Mycobacteria; however, the scores obtained in our study were lower than reported in other studies.

“…This preparation is subjected to short laser pulses in high vacuum, which causes the energy absorption by the matrix to be converted into excitation energy and H + transfer to the sample (ionization), normally giving rise to monocharged species. That are analyzed by TOF [23]. This method is used to identify various microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, mainly [24].…”

“…In recent years, a technique known as direct bacterial profiling has increasingly been applied to dissect proteome for bacterial species identification via the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. A sufficient number of stable mass signals of major housekeeping proteins, such as ribosomal proteins, are reproducibly detected for bacterial species identification by using simple mass pattern-matching approaches or more sophisticated algorithms to compare and estimate the similarities between spectra [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. These characteristic mass profiles (patterns) were successfully applied to bacterial subtyping at the species level, but hardly recognized the serovar level (i.e., the H and O antigen levels) [ 19 ] due to their bias toward small ribosomal proteins with a limited range of 2−20 kDa.…”

“…In recent years, a technique known as direct bacterial profiling, has increasingly been applied to dissect proteome for bacterial species identification via the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. A sufficient number of stable mass signals of major housekeeping proteins, such as ribosomal proteins, are reproducibly detected for bacterial species identification by using simple mass pattern-matching approaches or more sophisticated algorithms to compare and estimate the similarities between spectra [6,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. This identification approach is not dependent on actually specific ion peaks of MS spectrum but on the characteristic mass profiles (patterns) generated by a set of ion peaks called "fingerprint.…”
