Insufficient Discriminatory Power of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Dendrograms to Determine the Clonality of Multi-Drug-ResistantAcinetobacter baumanniiIsolates from an Intensive Care Unit

Abstract: While pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is recognized as the gold standard method for clonality analysis, MALDI-TOF MS has recently been spotlighted as an alternative tool for species identification. Herein, we compared the dendrograms of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates by using MALDI-TOF MS with those by using PFGE. We used direct colony and protein extraction methods for MALDI-TOF MS dendrograms. The isolates with identical PFGE patterns were grouped into different branches … Show more

“…Since ADSRRS-fingerprinting is based on analyzing total genomic DNA diversity by detecting polymorphism restriction sites and MALDI -TOF MS spectra correspond rather to housekeeping proteins, it would be more appropriate to compare the results of the MALDI -TOF MS analysis with the results of multilocus sequence typing (MLST). This phenomenon has been confirmed by many authors who observed greater compatibility between MSP spectra and the type of ST [ 9 , 72 74 ] rather than the PFGE profile [ 21 , 75 ].…”

“…Genotyping is usually based on phylogenetic analysis of a highly conserved region of the ribosomal RNA of the bacteria and this conservative feature may limit classification of the bacteria. Several studies have used MALDI-TOF MS as a discriminatory tool for typing bacterial pathogens [17,24,25] and have found that genotypic and phenotypic traits do not always concur [26].…”
