Identification ofNeisseria gonorrhoeaeby the Bruker matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization−time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system may be affected by “B consistency categorization.” A supplementary database of 17N. gonorrhoeaemain spectra was constructed. Twelve of 64N. gonorrhoeaeidentifications were categorized with B consistency, which disappeared using the supplementary database. Database extension did not result in misidentification ofNeisseria meningitidis.

Forty-two putativeCryptococcus laurentiiisolates identified by the Vitek 2 system were collected in China. The gold standard, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing, confirmed that only two isolates were genuineC. laurentii. Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry was able to identify theC. laurentiiisolates with an expanded custom database.

Among the 2,683 yeast isolates representing 41 different species (25CandidaandCandida-related species and 16 non-Candidayeast species) collected in the National China Hospital Invasive Fungal Surveillance Net (CHIF-NET) program (2012 to 2013), the Bruker Biotyper MS matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system exhibited significantly higher accuracy rates than the Vitek MS system for identification of all yeast isolates (98.8% versus 95.4%,P<0.001 by Pearson's chi-square test) and for allCandidaandCandida-related species isolates (99.4% versus 95.5%,P< 0.001).

Molecular methodologies were used to identify 28Achromobacterspp. from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) identified 17Achromobacter xylosoxidansisolates (allblaOXA-114positive), nineAchromobacter ruhlandiiisolates (allblaOXA-114positive), oneAchromobacter dolensisolate, and oneAchromobacter insuavisisolate. All less common species were misidentified asA. xylosoxidansby matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Chronic colonization by clonally relatedA. ruhlandiiisolates was demonstrated.

ABSTRACTCandidasepsis is a life-threatening condition with increasing prevalence. In this study, direct blood culturing on solid medium using a lysis-centrifugation procedure enabled successfulCandidaspecies identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time of flight mass spectrometry on average 3.8 h (Sabouraud agar) or 7.4 h (chocolate agar) before the positivity signal for control samples in Bactec mycosis-IC/F or Bactec Plus aerobic/F bottles, respectively. Direct culturing on solid medium accelerated candidemia diagnostics compared to that with automated broth-based systems.

We developed an Australian database for the identification ofAspergillus,Scedosporium, andFusariumspecies (n= 28) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization−time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). In a challenge against 117 isolates, species identification significantly improved when the in-house-built database was combined with the Bruker Filamentous Fungi Library compared with that for the Bruker library alone (Aspergillus, 93% versus 69%;Fusarium, 84% versus 42%; andScedosporium, 94% versus 18%, respectively).

ABSTRACTMatrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry is not widely used to identify bacteria directly from positive blood culture bottles (BCBs) because of overlong protocols. The objective of this work was to develop and evaluate a simple extraction protocol for reliable identification from BCBs. The 10-min protocol was applied over a 5-month period. Direct identifications on day 0 were compared with those obtained from colonies on day 1 [log(score) of ≥2]. We evaluated a range of seven log(score) thresholds on day 0 from 1.4 to 2.0 to find the lower confidence score that provides the higher percentage of direct identifications without loss of accuracy. With a log(score) threshold of ≥1.5 at day 0, our protocol allowed us to identify 80% of bacteria in 632 BCBs (96% ofEnterobacteriaceae, 95% ofStaphylococcus aureus, 92% of enterococci, and 62% of streptococci). At least one bacterial species of the mixture was identified in 77% of the polymicrobial samples. The rapidity and reliability of the protocol were factors in its adoption for routine use, allowing us to save up to 24 h in identifying 80% of the bacteria in the BCBs and, thus, to supply useful information to adapt antibiotic therapy when necessary. We currently provide reliable daily direct identifications of staphylococci, enterococci,Enterobacteriaceae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and beta-hemolytic streptococci.

Aspergillusspecies cause a wide spectrum of clinical infections. AlthoughAspergillus fumigatusandAspergillus flavusremain the most commonly isolated species in aspergillosis, in the last decade, rare and crypticAspergillusspecies have emerged in diverse clinical settings. The present study analyzed the distribution andin vitroantifungal susceptibility profiles of rareAspergillusspecies in clinical samples from patients with suspected aspergillosis in 8 medical centers in India. Further, a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry in-house database was developed to identify these clinically relevantAspergillusspecies. β-Tubulin and calmodulin gene sequencing identified 45 rareAspergillusisolates to the species level, except for a solitary isolate. They included 23 less commonAspergillusspecies belonging to 12 sections, mainly inCircumdati,Nidulantes,Flavi,Terrei,Versicolores,Aspergillus, andNigri. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identified only 8 (38%) of the 23 rareAspergillusisolates to the species level. Following the creation of an in-house database with the remaining 14 species not available in the Bruker database, the MALDI-TOF MS identification rate increased to 95%. Overall, high MICs of ≥2 μg/ml were noted for amphotericin B in 29% of the rareAspergillusspecies, followed by voriconazole in 20% and isavuconazole in 7%, whereas MICs of >0.5 μg/ml for posaconazole were observed in 15% of the isolates. Regarding the clinical diagnoses in 45 patients with positive rareAspergillusspecies cultures, 19 (42%) were regarded to represent colonization. In the remaining 26 patients, rareAspergillusspecies were the etiologic agent of invasive, chronic, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, keratitis, and mycetoma.
