Easy Identification of Leishmania Species by Mass Spectrometry
BACKGROUND Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by several Leishmania species that are associated with variable outcomes before and after therapy. Optimal treatment decision is based on an accurate identification of the infecting species but current methods to type Leishmania isolates are relatively complex and/or slow. Therefore, the initial treatment decision is generally presumptive, the infect...
متن کاملIdentification of volatile organic compounds of some Trichoderma species using static headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Fungi release wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that belong to several chemical groups with different biochemical origins such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic compounds, esters, furans, ketones, sulfur and nitrogen compounds. Trichoderma species are the most studied fungal biocontrol agents and are successfully used as biofungicides and biofertili...
متن کاملRoutine identification of Nocardia species by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
We here show adequate species identification for bacterial isolates of the genus Nocardia spp. through VITEK mass spectrometry. Application of a specific sample preparation method in combination with a robust matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) database leads to 94% accurate identification to the species level on a set of 164 isolates. The...
متن کاملIdentification of aflatoxins by quadrupole mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.
MS/MS daughter experiments were recorded for aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1, M2, and aflatoxicol, using 3 ionization modes. Daughters were recorded from the molecular ion (M+) using electron impact ionization (EI). Daughters from the protonated molecules (MH+) were recorded in the positive ion mode and the daughters from the molecular anion (M-) were recorded in the negative ion mode using chemi...
متن کاملIdentification of pathogens by mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND Mass spectrometry (MS) is a suitable technology for microorganism identification and characterization. CONTENT This review summarizes the MS-based methods currently used for the analyses of pathogens. Direct analysis of whole pathogenic microbial cells using MS without sample fractionation reveals specific biomarkers for taxonomy and provides rapid and high-throughput capabilities....
