    摘要: The invention relates to the determination of resistances of microorganisms which produce β-lactamases, in particular “extended spectrum β-lactamases” (ESBL). The invention provides a method whereby the microbial resistance can be measured very simply and quickly by means of the catalytic effect of the microbially produced β-lactamases on β-lactam antibiotics, which consists in a hydrolytic cleavage of the β-lactam ring. The method determines the resistance of the bacteria a few hours after a suitable substrate, either a β-lactam antibiotic or a customized β-lactam derivative, has been added to a suspension of the microbes, by direct mass spectrometric measurement of the substrate breakdown caused by the β-lactamases.

    摘要: The invention relates to the detection of specified, flagellated bacteria, particularly Salmonella, in food and stool. A single culturing period of about 12 to 24 hours in a liquid nutrient medium without agitation is combined with a position-selective sampling of the flagellated microbes from the liquid of the culture, after which a mass spectrometric detection method is used which recognizes the target bacteria in mixtures. A second culture step is only necessary in exceptional cases. A species-selective or genus-selective culture medium is advantageous. Positional selection becomes possible because these bacteria use their flagella to counteract sedimentation by chemotaxis, and they collect near the surface. This provides a low-cost detection method that is several days faster than conventional methods

    摘要: The invention relates to the determination of the nature and strength of enzymatic activity in blood using mass spectrometric measurement of a profile of the reaction products. The determination of the enzymatic activity can be used for medical diagnostics, for example, and also to check the effectiveness of medication. The invention provides a method whereby adding probe substances usually not present in blood offers standardized substrates for measuring the enzymatic activity. The probe substances may be added to whole blood, plasma, or serum. The mass spectrometric measurement of the reaction products, after their reversible immobilization on actively binding surfaces of solids, for example, can deliver biomarker patterns of the reaction products which may be indicators for metabolic anomalies or diseases, since these are often accompanied by the formation or activation of characteristic enzymes.

    摘要: Microbes in a sample are identified by calculating similarities between a mass spectrum of the sample and reference mass spectra in a spectral library. The spectral library is divided into a hierarchy of sub-libraries where each sub-library contains reference mass spectra of microbes which are statistically the most prevalent in the samples, but are not included in other sub-libraries and all additional reference mass spectra in the library that have substantial similarity to the reference mass spectra of these microbes. Only if the search in a sub-library does not provide a hit with sufficient certainty of identification, is the search carried out in sub-libraries of higher stages.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of investigating by mass spectrometry the genetic material deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replicated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for the identification of known mutations and polymorphisms; it particularly relates to the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by matrix assisted laser desorption and ionization (MALDI). The invention consists of using a set of nucleoside triphosphates for the selective PCR replication of the DNA in which one or more of the nucleoside triphosphates have been made much heavier by attaching a chemical group, but in such a way that the replication is not disturbed by the polymerase. In this way a single nucleotide polymorphism in DNA pieces with a length of about 40 to 50 bases can very easily be made visible by mass spectrometry without any further manipulation.

    摘要: A dual-stage method is provided for identifying a microbe by, for example, its species or its subspecies. The method includes measuring a mass spectrum of the microbe using a mass spectrometer, calculating indicators for similarities between reference mass spectra in a library and the measured mass spectrum, selecting a group of reference mass spectra similar to the measured mass spectrum, determining a distinguishing weight for each mass signal of the reference mass spectra in the group, where the distinguishing weights emphasize differences between the reference mass spectra in the group, and calculating indicators for similarities between the reference mass spectra in the group and the measured mass spectrum as a function of the distinguishing weights.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of a mass-spectrometric analysis of known mutation sites in the genome, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), using the method of restricted primer extension. The invention consists of the use of primers with a photocleavable linker. The linker creates a gap in a DNA strand which is almost the same size as a natural DNA building block (nucleoside). The linker forms a bridge over a base pair without inhibiting hybridization or enzymatic extension. However, the linker allows the primers to be cleaved after extension in order to obtain short DNA fragments which can be more easily detected on the mass spectrometer.

    摘要: The invention relates to methods and instruments for the rapid detection and rapid mass spectrometric identification of microbial infective agents in blood or other body fluids. The invention recognizes that blood is not a good environment for the cultivation of microbes and provides a method which (a) largely destroys or dissolves the human particles in body fluids, such as erythrocytes and leukocytes in blood, without impairing the ability of the microbes to reproduce, (b) separates the microbial pathogens from the fluid, (c) cultivates them in a nutrient broth which contains none of the antimicrobial components of the body fluids, (d) separates them from the nutrient broth, and (e) identifies the microbes by a mass spectrum of the microbial proteins. The dissolution of the human particles also releases the microbes nesting in macrophages. The cultivation in an optically clear nutrient broth with optimum composition not only accelerates the propagation of the microbes compared to all other cultivation methods, but also makes it possible to continuously measure their quantitative growth starting from a low microbe density. This firstly allows the mass spectrometric identification to be carried out at the earliest possible time, secondly provides a positive detection of microbes far ahead of their identification, which can be lifesaving for the patient; and thirdly makes it possible to start the determination of resistances early.
