Term Description

Microorganism identification by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight) is a diagnostic test for identifying the specific microorganism(s), i.e., bacteria and/or fungi, responsible for an infection. MALDI-TOF is a form of mass spectrometry that analyzes the proteins contained in an isolated colony. The resulting mass spectrum is compared to a reference database of bacterial and fungal protein mass spectra in order to identify the organism(s) present in the test sample. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, bioMerieux's VITEK MS system, which is indicated for use to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infections.

LP14559-6   Microorganism
A microorganism or microbe is an organism that is microscopic (too small to be visible to the naked eye). Microorganisms are often described as single-celled, or unicellular organisms; however, some unicellular protists are visible to the naked eye, and some multicellular species are microscopic. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

LP186074-3   MS.MALDI-TOF
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) is a type of mass spectrometry (MS). MALDI-TOF MS consists of three primary steps: 1) mixing the sample with an organic matrix, which provides a scaffolding and also protons for the ionization process; 2) applying a laser to the matrix, which absorbs energy from the laser and releases it into the sample, which causes the sample to desorb and form singly charged ions; and 3) using a flight tube to analyze the mass of the ions, ultimately resulting in a mass spectrum in which the mass-to-charge is plotted against signal intensity. MALDI-TOF is a soft ionization technique, meaning that molecules remain relatively intact during ionization. Because of this property, MALDI-TOF can be used for protein analysis; in contrast, older MS techniques cause extensive protein fragmentation and therefore cannot be used for this purpose. One application of MALDI-TOF is in clinical microbiology; compared to traditional methods, MALDI-TOF is faster and more accurate in identifying specific microorganisms.
