Mass Spectrometry Identification

Rapid identification of the infecting organism may aid in choosing appropriate antimicrobial therapy. We used MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to identify bacteria directly from the positive blood culture samples (n=21). 85,71 percent of these results was identified using of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Identification time of bacteria directly from the blood culture takes more than 1 hour for 27,8 percent results.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) can be used to identify bacteria directly from positive blood and sterile fluid cultures. The authors evaluated a commercially available kit – the Sepsityper Kit (Bruker Daltonik, Germany) – and MALDI-TOF MS for the rapid identification of organisms from 80 flagged positive blood culture broths, of which 73 (91.2%) were blood culture specimens and seven (8.7%) were cerebrospinal fluid specimens, in comparison with conventional identification methods. Correct identification to the genus and species levels was obtained in 75 of 80 (93.8%) and 39 of 50 (78%) blood culture broths, respectively. Applying the blood culture analysis module, a newly developed software tool, improved the species identification of Gram-negative organisms from 94.7% to 100% and of Gram-positive organisms from 66.7% to 70%.MALDI-TOF MS is a promising tool for the direct identification of organisms cultured from sterile sites.
