    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for inactivation and/or extraction of acid-fast bacteria (e.g., mycobacteria or nocardia), the method comprising the following sequential steps: (a) acquiring a test sample known to contain or that may contain acid-fast bacteria and suspending the test sample in a container containing ethanol and beads; (b) bead beating and/or vortexing the container to break up clumps and/or disrupt acid-fast bacteria cells in the container; and (c) subsequently incubating the suspension for at least about 3 minutes at room temperature to inactivate any acid-fast bacteria contained in the test sample. In accordance with the present invention, the test sample can subsequently be pelleted by centrifugation, resuspended with formic acid, acetonitrile added, and subjected to mass spectrometry for characterization and/or identification of the acid-fast bacteria.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for inactivation and/or extraction of fungus samples (e.g., mold or yeast samples), the method comprising the following sequential steps: (a) acquiring a test sample known to contain or that may contain fungus and suspending the test sample in a container containing water and/or suspension medium; (b) adding ethanol to the suspension; (c) centrifuging the container to pellet the fungus and removing and discarding the supernatant; (d) resuspending the fungus in formic acid; (e) adding acetonitrile to the sample; (f) centrifuging the sample; and (g) recovering the supernatant. In accordance with the present invention, the recovered supernatant can be subjected to mass spectrometry analysis for characterization and/or identification of the unknown fungus.
