Distinct volatile markers from Cystic Fibrosis pathogens with Secondary Electrospray Ionisation High-resolution Mass Spectrometry (SESI-HRMS)

Key paediatric messages from the 2018 European Respiratory Society International Congress

“…Another study on volatile metabolites in the breath by B aghdasaryan et al. [68] presented on distinct volatile markers from CF pathogens with secondary electrospray ionisation high-resolution mass spectrometry (SESI-HRMS). With this technique, unique sets of four to 12 volatile markers were found for P. aeruginosa , H. influenzae , Streptococcus pneumoniae , Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli .…”
