Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a diverse group of mycobacterial species that are ubiquitous in the environment. They are opportunistic pathogens that can cause a range of diseases, especially in individuals with underlying structural lung disease or compromised immune systems. AREAS COVERED This paper provides an in-depth analysis of NTM infections, including microbiology, environmental sources and transmission pathways, risk factors for disease, epidemiology, clinical manifestations and diagnostic approaches, guideline-based treatment recommendations, drugs under development, and management challenges. EXPERT OPINION Future approaches to the management of NTM pulmonary disease will require therapies that are well tolerated, can be taken for a shorter time period and perhaps less frequently, have few drug-drug interactions, and are active against the various strains of pathogens. As the numbers of infections increase, such therapies will be welcomed by clinicians and patients.

Evaluation of Two Different Preparation Protocols for MALDI-TOF MS Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Identification from Liquid and Solid Media. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11010120. [PMID: 36677412 PMCID: PMC9866535 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) identification is essential for establishing the relevance of the isolate and for appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Traditionally, NTM identification is performed by using Line Probe Assays (LPA), a costly and time-consuming technique requiring trained personnel. MALDI-TOF MS is a promising tool for NTM identification, and its use is rapidly growing. We evaluated the newly introduced MBT Mycobacteria kit (MBT) and the MycoEx preparation protocol (Bruker Daltonics, Germany) for NTM MALDI-TOF MS identification using LPA results as a reference. Fifty NTM grown on 7H11 agar and MGIT broth were analyzed with both protocols using the Bruker Microflex® LT MALDI-TOF MS (Bruker Daltonics) instrument. MBT and MycoEx provided identification results in 97.0% and 95.0% of the cases, respectively. With both protocols, 100% of the provided results agreed with LPA with no registered mismatch. MBT achieved an elevated number of highly probable identifications (88.0% vs. 83.0%) and a higher reproducibility rate of correct results (86.6% vs. 75.8%) in comparison to MycoEx. This study provides results about MBT performance for liquid and solid media, underlining the strengths and weakness under different conditions. Our results suggest that MALDI-TOF MS could provide a great advantage for timely and cost-saving NTM identification with potential implications for patient outcome.

Acid-fast bacteria as causative agents of skin and soft tissue infections: case presentations and literature review. Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo 2023; 65:e29. [PMID: 37075336 PMCID: PMC10115452 DOI: 10.1590/s1678-9946202365029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Acid-fast bacteria can be implicated in skin and soft tissue infections. Diagnostic identification can be challenging or not feasible by routine laboratory techniques, especially if there is no access to the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technology. Here, we present two cases of skin and soft tissue infections caused by two different acid-fast bacteria, Nocardia brasiliensis and Mycobacterium marinum. They both grew on Löwenstein-Jensen medium, Sabouraud agar medium and blood agar medium. Both bacteria appeared acid-fast by Ziehl-Neelsen stain and Gram-positive by Gram stain. The identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS and gene analysis. N. brasiliensis and nontuberculous mycobacterium M. marinum represent rare pathogens that cause severe skin and soft tissue infections. Failure to identify the causative agent and subsequent inappropriate or inadequate treatment may lead to severe complications or even disseminated disease, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the performance and validate the diagnostic value of a nucleotide matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) with the analysis process optimized in identification of mycobacterium species. Methods The optimized analysis process was used for mycobacterial identification in the nucleic MALDI-TOF-MS. 108 samples were used for assessing the performance of nucleic MALDI-TOF-MS, including 25 reference standards, 37 clinical isolates, 37 BALF, and 9 plasmids. The BALF of 38 patients suspected of pulmonary mycobacterial infection was collected for validation. Clinical etiological diagnosis was used as the gold standard to evaluate the diagnostic value of nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS. Results The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS in mycobacterial identification were 96.91%, 100% and 97.22%, respectively, and the limit of detection for mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) was 50 bacteria/mL. Among 38 patients suspected of pulmonary mycobacterial infection, 33 were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis infection, and 5 with non-mycobacterial infection. In clinical validation, the positive rates of MALDI-TOF-MS, Xpert MTB/RIF, culture and AFS in BALF of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis infection were 72.7%, 63.6%, 54.5% and 27.3%, respectively. The sensitivity/specificity of MALDI-TOF-MS, Xpert, culture and AFS in diagnosing MTB were 72.7%/100%, 63.6%/100%, 54.5%/100%, 27.3%/100%, with the areas under the curve of 0.864, 0.818, 0.773, and 0.636, respectively. Conclusion Optimized nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS has satisfactory sensitivity, specificity and low LOD in the identification of mycobacteria, which may serve as a potential assay for mycobacterial identification.

Abstract
Background Mycobacterium marseillense is a new species of the Mycobacterium avium complex. There has been only a few human infections caused by M. marseillense worldwide. Case presentation We report a case of tenosynovitis caused by M. marseillense in an immunocompetent adult in Japan. The isolate was initially identified as M. intracellulare using commercial real time polymerase chain reaction assays and later identified as M. marseillense with sequencing of the the rpoB and hsp65 regions, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Conclusions This is the first case reporting on M. marseillense generating a positive result with commercial real time PCR assays targeting MAC. Human infections associated by M. marseillense might be underreported due to similarities with Mycobacterium intracellulare. To accurately identify M. marseillese, MALDI-TOF MS might provide a rapid and reliable method.

Abstract
Recently, culture-independent molecular methods, such as DNA sequencing techniques targeting the 16S-ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and/or other housekeeping genes with Sanger method-based technologies, next generation sequencing (NGS), and metagenomic analysis, have been developed for detecting microorganisms in the human body; these can provide information on microbiomes of samples from individuals with or without infectious diseases. Determining the bacterial species is crucial in identifying causative bacteria of upper and lower respiratory tract infections, especially for Streptococcus species, but NGS analysis is often not precise enough to identify bacteria at the species level. This review briefly introduces previous observations of the microbiome of samples from various respiratory and other infections assessed using the clone library method with Sanger sequencing of the 16S-rRNA gene. On analysis of 16S-rRNA gene-sequence data of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from pneumonia lesions in patients with bacterial pneumonia and lung abscess, anaerobes are often detected in non-elderly patients with pneumonia, and the detection rate of Staphylococcus aureus in patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia is lower than that previously reported. Analysis of pleural effusion samples from patients with pleurisy indicated a more important role of anaerobes than previous believed. The other topics reviewed include microbiomes of nontuberculous mycobacteriosis and lower respiratory tract infections in children with permanent tracheostomy due to neuromuscular disorders, in nasal discharge, in bacterial vaginosis, in the intracystic fluid of postoperative maxillary cyst, and in bacterial conjunctivitis; urine microbiota in urethritis; fecal microbiota; and newly detected infectious organisms in the human respiratory tract.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been used in the field of clinical microbiology since 2010. Compared with the traditional technique of biochemical identification, MALDI-TOF MS has many advantages, including convenience, speed, accuracy, and low cost. The accuracy and speed of identification using MALDI-TOF MS have been increasing with the development of sample preparation, database enrichment, and algorithm optimization. MALDI-TOF MS has shown promising results in identifying cultured colonies and rapidly detecting samples. MALDI-TOF MS has critical research applications for the rapid detection of highly virulent and drug-resistant pathogens. Here we present a scientific review that evaluates the performance of MALDI-TOF MS in identifying clinical pathogenic microorganisms. MALDI-TOF MS is a promising tool in identifying clinical microorganisms, although some aspects still require improvement.

Abstract
Introduction Non-tuberculous mycobacteria, although identified as pathogenic to humans long time ago, are emerging as the new threat in the past two decades. Even in tuberculosis endemic country such as India, they are being isolated from the clinical specimens more often than previously. This change in trend is of concern, because they are often misdiagnosed as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or even as drug-resistant tuberculosis. Objectives A prospective, observational study was planned to identify the frequency and risk factors associated with pulmonary and extrapulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections. Agreement between two commercially available molecular systems, namely GenoType Mycobacteria CM assay and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) used in the identification of mycobacterial species is also analysed. Materials and Methods NTM isolated from pulmonary and extrapulmonary clinical specimens over a period of 1½ year was included in the study. Patient demographics were collected, and the risk factors associated with NTM infections were analyzed. NTM grown on culture was speciated using GenoType Mycobacteria CM assay (HAIN Life Sciences, Germany) and MALDI TOF MS (bioMerieux, France). Drug-susceptibility tests were done for rapid-growing NTM using E-test (bioMerieux, France). Results Eight hundred and fifty-four mycobacteria were isolated from 5009 specimens processed during the study period. Out of the mycobacteria grown, 74 (8.7%) were NTM and 780 (91.3%) were Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The NTM isolated from pulmonary specimens were 46 (62.16%) and from extrapulmonary sources were 28 (37.84%). The most common species isolated from pulmonary specimens was Mycobacterium intracellulare and from extrapulmonary specimens was Mycobacterium abscessus. Concordance between the two commercial assays used for the identification was 96.49%. The most common risk factor associated with pulmonary NTM was previous lung pathology, while with extrapulmonary NTM infection was previous surgical intervention. Drug-susceptibility tests for rapid growers showed amikacin and clarithromycin as the most active drugs in vitro. Conclusions NTM plays a significant role in causing pulmonary and extrapulmonary infections even in our part of the country with high endemicity of tuberculosis. NTM has emerged as important pathogens even in the immunocompetent patients. There is a need for rapid diagnosis and susceptibility testing of NTM to aid physicians administer timely and appropriate treatment to the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This multicenter study's aim was to assess the performance of two commercially available matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry systems in identifying a challenge collection of clinically relevant nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). METHODS NTM clinical isolates (n = 244) belonging to 23 species/subspecies were identified by gene sequencing and analyzed using Bruker Biotyper with Mycobacterial Library v5.0.0 and bioMérieux VITEK MS with v3.0 database. RESULTS Using the Bruker or bioMérieux systems, 92% and 95% of NTM strains, respectively, were identified at least to the complex/group level; 62% and 57%, respectively, were identified to the highest taxonomic level. Differentiation between members of Mycobacterium abscessus, M fortuitum, M mucogenicum, M avium, and M terrae complexes/groups was problematic for both systems, as was identification of M chelonae for the Bruker system. CONCLUSIONS Both systems identified most NTM isolates to the group/complex level, and many to the highest taxonomic level. Performance was comparable.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a type of analysis used to determine what molecules make up a sample, based on the mass spectrum that are created by the ions. Mass spectrometers are able to perform traditional target analyte identification and quantitation; however, they may also be used within a clinical setting for the rapid identification of bacteria. The causative agent in sepsis is changed over time, and clinical decisions affecting the management of infections are often based on the outcomes of bacterial identification. Therefore, it is essential that such identifications are performed quickly and interpreted correctly. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer is one of the most popular MS instruments used in biology, due to its rapid and precise identification of genus and species of an extensive range of Gram-negative and-positive bacteria. Microorganism identification by Mass spectrometry is based on identifying a characteristic spectrum of each species and then matched with a large database within the instrument. The present review gives a contemporary perspective on the challenges and opportunities for bacterial identification as well as a written report of how technological innovation has advanced MS. Future clinical applications will also be addressed, particularly the use of MALDI-TOF MS in the field of microbiology for the identification and the analysis of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Seemingly innocuous nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species, classified by their slow or rapid growth rates, can cause a wide range of illnesses, from skin ulceration to severe pulmonary and disseminated disease. Despite their worldwide prevalence and significant disease burden, NTM do not garner the same financial or research focus as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this review, we outline the most abundant of over 170 NTM species and inadequacies of diagnostics and treatments and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of currently available in vivo animal models of NTM. In order to effectively combat this group of mycobacteria, more research focused on appropriate animal models of infection, screening of chemotherapeutic compounds, and development of anti-NTM vaccines and diagnostics is urgently needed.

Abstract
Mycobacteria other than tuberculosis are important pathogens to consider in solid organ transplant recipients. Delay in recognition and treatment may incur significant morbidity and mortality. Management of mycobacteria other than tuberculosis requires a knowledge of treatment specific for each species and drug-drug interactions between antimicrobial and immunosuppressive drugs. Therapy in solid organ transplant can be prolonged and may require a reduction in immunosuppression to improve outcomes.

Abstract
CASE A 43-year-old former drug user presented with a mycobacterium-caused septic nonunion of the humeral shaft. The patient had undergone 2 previous surgeries for a hematogenous fracture-related infection due to Staphylococcus aureus. The procedures had included debridement, double-plate osteosynthesis, and placement of a gentamicin-loaded bone substitute. Culture specimens produced growth of Mycobacterium canariasense. Because the microbiological diagnosis was obtained after the patient had been discharged, no antibiotic treatment could be prescribed. Nevertheless, solid bone fusion was observed in the most recent outpatient examination. CONCLUSION This case illustrates the importance of considering atypical pathogens in patients who are immunoincompetent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of septic nonunion caused by M. canariasense.

Abstract
The accuracy and robustness of the Vitek MS v3.0 matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) system was evaluated by identifying mycobacteria from automated liquid-medium systems using patient samples. This is the first report to demonstrate that proteins within the liquid medium, its supplements, and decontamination reagents for nonsterile patient samples do not generate misidentification or false-positive results by use of the Vitek MS v3.0 system. Prior to testing with patient samples, a seeded-culture study was conducted to challenge the accuracy of the Vitek MS system at identifying mycobacteria from liquid medium by mimicking a clinical workflow. Seventy-seven Mycobacterium strains representing 21 species, seeded in simulated sputum, were decontaminated, inoculated into BacT/Alert MP liquid culture medium, incubated until positivity, and identified using the Vitek MS system. A total of 383 liquid cultures were tested, of which 379 (99%) were identified correctly to the species/complex/group level, 4 (1%) gave a "no-identification" result, and no misidentifications were observed. Following the simulated-sputum study, a total of 73 smear-positive liquid-medium cultures detected using BD BBL MGIT and VersaTREK Myco liquid media were identified by the Vitek MS system. Sixty-four cultures (87.7%) were correctly identified to the species/complex/group level; 7 (9.6%) resulted in no identification; and 2 (2.7%) were misidentified at the species level. These results indicate that the Vitek MS v3.0 system is an accurate tool for routine diagnostics of Mycobacterium species isolated from liquid cultures.

MALDI Spectra Database for Rapid Discrimination and Subtyping of Mycobacterium kansasii. Front Microbiol 2018; 9:587.

Abstract
Mycobacterium kansasii is an emerging non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogen capable of causing severe lung disease. Of the seven currently recognized M. kansasii genotypes (I-VII), genotypes I and II are most prevalent and have been associated with human disease, whereas the other five (III-VII) genotypes are predominantly of environmental origin and are believed to be non-pathogenic. Subtyping of M. kansasii serves as a valuable tool to guide clinicians in pursuing diagnosis and to initiate the proper timely treatment. Most of the previous rapid diagnostic tests for mycobacteria employing the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technology focused on species-level identification. The purpose of this study was to establish MALDI-TOF MS reference spectra database for discrimination of M. kansasii at the genotype level. A panel of 32 strains, representatives of M. kansasii genotypes I-VI were selected, whole cell proteins extracted and measured with MALDI-TOF MS. A unique main spectra (MSP) library was created using MALDI Biotyper Compass Explorer software. The spectra reproducibility was assessed by computing composite correlation index and MSPs cross-matching. One hundred clinical M. kansasii isolates used for testing of the database resulted in 90% identification at genus-level, 7% identification at species-level and 2% identification was below the threshold of log score value 1.7, of which all were correct at genotype level. One strain could not be identified. On the other hand, 37% of strains were identified at species level, 40% at genus level and 23% was not identified with the manufacturer's database. The MALDI-TOF MS was proven a rapid and robust tool to detect and differentiate between M. kansasii genotypes. It is concluded that MALDI-TOF MS has a potential to be incorporated into the routine diagnostic workflow of M. kansasii and possibly other NTM species.

Evaluation of Two Protein Extraction Protocols Based on Freezing and Mechanical Disruption for Identifying Nontuberculous Mycobacteria by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry from Liquid and Solid Cultures. J Clin Microbiol 2018; 56:JCM.01548-17.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has proved to be a useful diagnostic method for identifying conventional bacteria. In the case of mycobacteria, a good protein extraction protocol is essential in order to obtain reliable identification results. To date, no such protocol has been definitively established. The aim of this study was to compare the manufacturer's recommended protein extraction protocol (protocol A) with two novel protocols (protocols B and C), which apply different freezing temperatures and mechanical disruption times using an automatic tissue homogenizer. A total of 302 clinical isolates, comprising 41 nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species, were grown in parallel on solid and liquid media and analyzed: 174 isolates were slow-growing mycobacteria (SGM) and 128 isolates were rapid-growing mycobacteria (RGM). Overall, MALDI-TOF MS identified a higher number of NTM isolates from solid than from liquid media, especially with protocol C (83.4 and 68.2%, respectively; P < 0.05). From solid media, this protein extraction method identified 57.9 and 3.9% more isolates than protocols A (P < 0.001) and B (P < 0.05), respectively. In the case of liquid media, protocol C identified 49.7 and 6.3% more isolates than protocols A and B, respectively (P < 0.001). With regard to the growth rate, MALDI-TOF MS identified more RGM isolates than SGM isolates in all of the protocols studied. In conclusion, the application of freezing and automatic tissue homogenizer improved protein extraction of NTM and boosted identification rates. Consequently, MALDI-TOF MS, which is a cheap and simple method, could be a helpful tool for identifying NTM species in clinical laboratories.

Abstract
Identification of microorganisms by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been widely accepted. However, the significance of MALDI-TOF MS for identifying mycobacteria, particularly rare nontuberculous mycobacteria, has not been established. M. heckeshornense is one such bacteria, and distinguishing it from M. xenopi is difficult. The patient was a 40-year-old man with Behҫet's disease who had started treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine. A lung nodule in the right lower lobe was pointed out, and it increased in size 6 months later. Bronchoscopy was performed, and was culture positive for mycobacteria. It was identified as M. heckeshornense by MALDI-TOF MS with a score value of 1.928. Analysis of the 16S rRNA, rpoB, and hsp65 genes confirmed the result of MALDI-TOF MS. MALDI-TOF MS seems reliable for the diagnosis of M. heckeshornense infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The implementation of MALDI-TOF MS for microorganism identification has changed the routine of the microbiology laboratories as we knew it. Most microorganisms can now be reliably identified within minutes using this inexpensive, user-friendly methodology. However, its application in the identification of mycobacteria isolates has been hampered by the structure of their cell wall. Improvements in the sample processing method and in the available database have proved key factors for the rapid and reliable identification of non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolates using MALDI-TOF MS. AIMS The main objective is to provide information about the proceedings for the identification of non-tuberculous isolates using MALDI-TOF MS and to review different sample processing methods, available databases, and the interpretation of the results. SOURCES Results from relevant studies on the use of the available MALDI-TOF MS instruments, the implementation of innovative sample processing methods, or the implementation of improved databases are discussed. CONTENT Insight about the methodology required for reliable identification of non-tuberculous mycobacteria and its implementation in the microbiology laboratory routine is provided. IMPLICATIONS Microbiology laboratories where MALDI-TOF MS is available can benefit from its capacity to identify most clinically interesting non-tuberculous mycobacteria in a rapid, reliable, and inexpensive manner.

Abstract
Aim: Identification of pathogenic clinical bacterial isolates is mainly dependent on
phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the microorganisms. These conventional
methods are costive, time-consuming, and need special skills and training. An
alternative, mass spectral (proteomics) analysis method for identification of
clinical bacterial isolates has been recognized as a rapid, reliable, and
economical method for identification. This study was aimed to evaluate and compare
the performance, sensitivity and reliability of traditional bacteriology,
phenotypic methods and matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization-time-of-flight
mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the identification of clinical
Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolates
recovered from chickens. Materials and Methods: A total of 110 samples (cloacal, liver, spleen, and/or gall bladder) were
collected from apparently healthy and diseased chickens showing clinical signs as
white chalky diarrhea, pasty vent, and decrease egg production as well as freshly
dead chickens which showing postmortem lesions as enlarged liver with congestion
and enlarged gall bladder from different poultry farms. Results: Depending on colonial characteristics and morphological characteristics,
E. coli and Salmonella isolates were
recovered and detected in only 42 and 35 samples, respectively. Biochemical
identification using API 20E identification system revealed that the suspected
E. coli isolates were 33 out of 42 of colonial and
morphological identified E. coli isolates where
Salmonella isolates were represented by 26 out of 35 of
colonial and morphological identified Salmonella isolates.
Serological identification of isolates revealed that the most predominant
E. coli serotypes were O1 and O78 while the most predominant
Salmonella serotype of Salmonella was
Salmonella Pullorum. All E. coli and
Salmonella isolates were examined using MALDI-TOF MS. In
agreement with traditional identification, MADI-TOF MS identified all clinical
bacterial samples with valid scores as E. coli and
Salmonella isolates except two E. coli
isolates recovered from apparently healthy and diseased birds, respectively, with
recovery rate of 93.9% and 2 Salmonella isolates recovered
from apparently healthy and dead birds, respectively, with recovery rate of
92.3%. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that Bruker MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper is a reliable rapid and
economic tool for the identification of Gram-negative bacteria especially
E. coli and Salmonella which could be used as
an alternative diagnostic tool for routine identification and differentiation of
clinical isolates in the bacteriological laboratory. MALDI-TOF MS need more
validation and verification and more study on the performance of direct colony and
extraction methods to detect the most sensitive one and also need using more
samples to detect sensitivity, reliability, and performance of this type of
bacterial identification.

Abstract
During the last decade, many investigators have studied matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for identification of mycobacteria. Diverse and contradictory results indicated that optimal level for routine testing has not been reached yet. This work aimed to assess Vitek MS through two distinct versions, Saramis v4.12 RUO and the IVD v3.0, under conditions close to routine laboratory practice. Overall, 111 mycobacterial isolates were subjected to protein extraction and same spectra were matched against both databases. The IVD v3.0 database proved to be superior to Saramis v4.12 and its identification rates remarkably increased, from 67% to 94% for isolates grown on Middlebrook 7H10 solid medium and from 62% to 91% for isolates grown on mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid medium. With this new version, IVD v3.0, MALDI-TOF MS might be integrated into routine clinical diagnostics, although molecular techniques remain mandatory in some cases.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to explore the suitability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for a rapid and correct identification of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) field isolates. METHODS AND RESULTS MALDI-TOF MS approach is becoming one of the most popular tests for the identification of intact bacterial cells which has been shown to be fast and reliable. For this purpose, 36 MAP field isolates were analysed through MALDI-TOF MS and the spectra compared with two different databases: one provided by the vendor of the system employed (Biotyper ver. 3·0; Bruker Daltonics) and a homemade database containing spectra from both tuberculous and nontuberculous Mycobacteria. Moreover, principal component analysis procedure was employed to confirm the ability of MALDI-TOF MS to discriminate between very closely related subspecies. Our results suggest MAP can be differentiated from other Mycobacterium species, both when the species are very close (M. intracellulare) and when belonging to different subspecies (M. avium ssp. avium and M. avium ssp. silvaticum). CONCLUSIONS The procedure applied is fast, easy to perform, and achieves an earlier accurate species identification of MAP and nontuberculous Mycobacteria in comparison to other procedures. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The gold standard test for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis is still isolation of MAP by cultural methods, but additional assays, such as qPCR and subculturing for determination of mycobactin dependency are required to confirm its identification. We have provided here evidence pertaining to the usefulness of MALDI-TOF MS approach for a rapid identification of this mycobacterium among other members of M. avium complex.

Abstract
Identification of microorganisms by MALDI-TOF MS has been widely accepted in clinical microbiology. However, for Mycobacterium spp. and Nocardia spp. such identification has not yet reached the optimal level of routine testing. Here we describe the development of an identification tool for 49 and 15 species of Mycobacterium spp. and Nocardia spp., respectively. During database construction, a number of ambiguous reference identifications were revealed and corrected via molecular analyses. Eventually, more than 2000 individual mass spectra acquired from 494 strains were included in a reference database and subjected to bio-statistical analyses. This led to correct species identification and correct combination of species into several complexes or groups, such as the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. With the Advanced Spectrum Classifier algorithm, class-specific bin weights were determined and tested by cross-validation experiments with good results. When challenged with independent isolates, overall identification performance was 90% for identification of Mycobacterium spp. and 88% for Nocardia spp. However, for a number of Mycobacterium sp. isolates, no identification could be achieved and in most cases, this could be attributed to the production of polymers that masked the species-specific protein peak patterns. For the species where >20 isolates were tested, correct identification reached 95% or higher. With the current spectral database, the identification of Mycobacterium spp. and Nocardia spp. by MALDI-TOF MS can be performed in routine clinical diagnostics although in some complicated cases verification by sequencing remains mandatory.

Abstract
We have assessed matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification (Bruker) of nontuberculous mycobacteria from newly positive liquid cultures of respiratory samples. Twelve (22%) of 54 isolates were identified directly from liquid medium. After subculture and with manual laser operation, this rose to 49/54 isolates (91%). MALDI-TOF MS is less promising than previously suggested.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has demonstrated its ability to promptly identify nontuberculous mycobacteria using the Mycobacteria Library v2.0. However, some species are particularly difficult to identify reliably using this database, providing a low log(score). In this study, the identification power of an updated Mycobacteria Library (v3.0) has been evaluated. Overall, 109 NTM isolates were analyzed with both databases. The v3.0 database allowed a high-level confidence in the identification [log(score) value, ≥1.8] of 91.7% of the isolates versus 83.5% with the v2.0 version (P< 0.01).

Abstract
Background/Aims: Species-level identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is important in making decisions about the necessity and choice of antimicrobial treatment. The reason is predictable clinical significance and the susceptibility profile of specific NTM species. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is recognized as a diagnostic tool for routine identification of bacteria and yeasts in the clinical laboratory based on protein fingerprint analysis. The aim of the study was to evaluate MALDI-TOF MS in the identification of NTM. Methods: A total of 25 NTM isolates from liquid cultures were identified with both polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based hybridization assay and MALDI-TOF MS at the University Hospital Center Zagreb. Results: PCR-based hybridization assay identified 96% (24/25) and MALDI-TOF MS 80% (20/25) of tested NTM isolates. Five isolates with no reliable MALDI-TOF MS identification belonged to the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex. Seventy percent (14/20) of NTM isolates successfully identified with MALDI-TOF MS had a score higher than 2.0, indicating reliable species identification. Conclusion: MALDI-TOF MS is a promising tool for the identification of NTM. With a further improvement of the protein extraction protocol, especially regarding the M. avium-intracellulare complex, MALDI-TOF MS could be an additional standard method for identification of NTM.
