Any plant with a vascular system has a specific endophytic microflora. The identification of bacteria is essential in plant pathology. Although identification methods are effective, they are costly and time consuming. The purpose of this work is to isolate and to identify the different bacteria from the internal tissues of Urtica dioica L. and to study their diversity. This last is based on the different parts of the plant (stems, leaves and roots) and the harvest regions (Dellys and Tlamcen). The identification of bacteria is done by biochemical tests and confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS. Seven genus and eleven species were isolated from the Great Nettle. They belong to the genera Bacillus, Escherichia, Pantoea, Enterobacter, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Paenibacillus. The majority of these bacteria were isolated from Tlemcen which makes this region the richest in endophytic bacteria compared to that harvested from Dellys. The results show also that the leaves are the most diversified in endophytic bacteria. Bacillus pumilus-ME is the common species of the three parts of the plant harvested in both regions. From this work, it emerges that the Great Nettle can be settled by various endophytic bacteria which are differently distributed within the same plant harvested in different regions.

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius can easily be mistaken for Staphylococcus aureus using phenotypic and rapid biochemical methods. We began confirming the identification of all coagulase-positive staphylococci isolated from human wound cultures at our centralized laboratory, servicing both community and inpatients, with MALDI-TOF MS instead of using phenotypic and rapid biochemical tests, and determined the prevalence of S. pseudintermedius since the change in identification procedure and at what cost. A retrospective review was performed on all wound swab cultures from which coagulase-positive staphylococci were isolated 7 months before and after the change in identification procedure. A total of 49 S. intermedius /pseudintermedius (SIP) isolates were identified including 7 isolates from 14,401 wound cultures in the before period and 42 isolates from 14,147 wound cultures in the after period. The number of SIP isolates as a proportion of isolated coagulase-positive staphylococci increased significantly from the before 7/6,351 (0.1%) to the after period 42/5,435 (0.7%) (difference 0.6% (95% CI 0.037-0.83%, p <0.0001)). Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed in 42 isolates; none had an oxacillin MIC 1.0-2.0 μg/mL, the range in which if the isolate was misidentified as S. aureus , a very major error in susceptibility interpretation would occur. The increase in cost of the change in identification procedure was $17,558 CDN per year in our laboratory performing microbiology testing for community and acute care patients in a zone servicing nearly 1.7 million people. While we will only continue to learn more about this emerging pathogen if we make attempts to properly identify it in clinical cultures, the additional time and cost involved may be unacceptably high in some laboratories.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has recently emerged as a powerful technique for identification of microorganisms, changing the workflow of well-established laboratories so that its impact on microbiological diagnostics has been unparalleled. In comparison with conventional identification methods that rely on biochemical tests and require long incubation procedures, MALDI-TOF MS has the advantage of identifying bacteria and fungi directly from colonies grown on culture plates in a few minutes and with simple procedures. Numerous studies on different systems available demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of the method, and new frontiers have been explored besides microbial species level identification, such as direct identification of pathogens from positive blood cultures, subtyping, and drug susceptibility detection.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has recently been demonstrated as a rapid and reliable method for identifying bacteria in colonies grown on culture plates. Rapid identification of food spoilage bacteria is important for ensuring the quality and safety of food. To shorten the time of analysis, several researchers have proposed the direct MALDI-TOF MS tequnics for identification of bacteria in clinical samples such as urine and positive blood cultures. In this study, processed soybean products (total 26 test samples) were initially conducted a culture enrichiment step and bacterial cells were separated from interfering components. Harvested bacterial cells were determined by MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing method. Six processed soybean products (23%) were increased bacterial cells after culture enrichiment step and they were sucessfully obtained the accurate identification results by MALDI-TOF MS-based method without colony formation.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the routine identification of clinical isolates. MALDI-TOF MS based identification of bacteria has been shown to be more rapid, accurate and cost-efficient than conventional phenotypic techniques or molecular methods. Rapid and reliable identification of food-associated bacteria is also of crucial importance for food processing and product quality. This review is concerned with the applicability of MALDI-TOF MS for routine identification of foodborne bacteria taking the specific requirements of food microbiological laboratories and the food industry into account. The current state of knowledge including recent findings and new approaches are discussed.
