2 Aspergillus flavus Aspergillus ochraceus Conidia 3 to 6 µ Conidia 3 µ Conidiophore finely echinulate Conidiophore very echinulate

3 Laboratory equipement

4 MALDI-TOF code bar Gel and stack views of the MALDI-TOF MS spectra of 8 filamentous fungi

5 Practical laboratory issues Culture medium Incubation time Pretreatment procedure Type of instrument Spectra comparison algorithm Reference database

6 Practical laboratory issues on MALDI-TOF identification results: Culture medium Incubation time Pretreatment procedure Type of instrument Spectra comparison algorithm Reference database

7 Practical laboratory issues Culture medium effect on MALDI-TOF identification results

8 Cycloheximide Effect Species N Mean LS (SD ) SGC SGCc Microsporum audouinii (±0.264) (0.266 ) Microsporum canis (±0.140) (0.181) Microsporum gypseum (±0.069) (0.317) Trichophyton mentagrophytes (0.22) (0.080) Trichophyton rubrum (0.142) (0.145) Trichophyton tonsurans (0.335) 2.261(0.299)

10 6192 clinical yeast isolates

11 Culture medium effect Yes, but no significant impact on MALDI- TOF identification results

12 Practical laboratory issues Incubation time effect on MALDI-TOF identification results

13 MALDI-ToF spectra reproducibilty (4 distinct sub-cultures of a T. rubrum isolate)

14 Incubation time effect Mean LS values of 40 spots of six dermatophyte strains tested against reference spectra aquired from 3-day-old culture Species Mean LS (SD ) Incubation time 3 days 15 days M. audouinii strain (0.197) (0.06) M. canis strain 249D (0.078) (0.195) T. mentagrophytes strain (0.120) (0.102) T. rubrum strain 60D (0.045) (0.036) T. soudanense strain 243D (0.120) (0.182) T. tonsurans strain 90D (0.023) (0.06)

15 Incubation time effect Yes, but the sooner the better from a clinical point of view

16 Practical laboratory issues Pretreatment procedure effect on MALDI-TOF identification results

17 FA extraction + bead-beating + heating FA extraction + bead-beating FA extraction + heating FA extraction + washing FA extraction

18 Smear or Direct deposit Fast FA extraction Complete extraction I Complete extraction II

19 Pre-treatment procedures Complete extraction procedures perform better than fast procedures

20 Pretreatment procedure effect Complete extraction procedures: enhance identification results robust to unskilled operators suited to batch processing yet reference library is key

21 Practical laboratory issues Type of instrument effect on MALDI-TOF identification results

22 MALDI-TOF identification systems Instruments Bruker Daltonics (Bremen, Germany) Série FLEX : Microflex LT Scientific Analysis Instrument (Manchester, UK) Commercialized systems MaldiBiotyper system Bruker Daltonics Andromas System Andromas SAS, Paris Axima@Saramis Shimadzu (Tokyo, Japan) séries AXIMA Agnostec/bioMérieux VitekMS biomérieux

23 Mass spectrometer Our experience is limited to three machines by Brüker: Autoflex I Ultraflex Microflex LT Changing from an Autoflex I to a Microflex LT significantly improved identification quality No evidence that the Shimadzu and Brüker machines perform differently

24 Type of instrument effect Probably not significant

25 Practical laboratory issues Spectra comparison algorithm effects on MALDI-TOF identification results

26 Spectra comparison algorithms The three commercialized systems Andromas Vitek MS BioTyper Have distinct proprietary spectra comparison algorithms That perform similarly well for the identification of microorganisms Not evaluated on filamentous fungi

27 Spectra comparison algorithms effect Probably not significant

28 Practical laboratory issues Reference database effect on MALDI-TOF identification results

29 Overall performance of the NIH mold database and the Bruker library when challenged against 421 clinical isolates Library(ies) No. of isolates (%) with the indicated score and 1.7 <1.7 Combined NIH and Bruker 370 (88.9) 18 (4.3) 33 (7.8) NIH alone 370 (88.9) 18 (4.3) 33 (7.8) Bruker alone 3 (0.7) 26 (6.2) 392 (93.1) J Clin Microbiol Mar; 51(3):
