Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter fetus, and Campylobacter coli were compared with Helicobacter pylori and Helicobacter mustelae by direct analysis of individual cultured colonies in 50% methanol-water with a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS). H. pylori and Campylobacter species from blood agar culture produced unique, complex spectra with over 25 different ions in mass/charge (m/z) range from 2,000 to 62,000. A biomarker for H. pylori was centered around m/z 58,268, and H. mustelae was distinguished from H. pylori by its ions at m/z 49,608 and 57,231. Campylobacters could be distinguished from Helicobacters by their lack of ions around m/z 58,000 and 61,000 as well as distinguishing biomarkers of lower m/z: 10,074 and 25,478 for C. coli; m/z 10,285 and 12,901 for C. jejuni; m/z 10,726 and 11,289 for C. fetus. MALDI-TOF MS is a rapid and direct method for detection of these potentially pathogenic bacteria from culture.
