Unlabelled: Respiratory tract infections are major global health issues that require rapid and accurate diagnostic methods. Multiplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) is commonly used for pathogen detection in respiratory samples. However, the optimal specimen selection for detecting bacterial pathogens is not well-explored.

Unlabelled: MFE01 is an environmental bacterium characterized by an hyperactive type 6 secretion system (T6SS) and a strong emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In a previous study, a transposition mutant, 3H5, exhibited an inactive T6SS and altered VOC emission. In 3H5, the interruption of gene by the transposon was insufficient to explain these phenotypes.

The identification and typing of bacteria are very expensive and time-consuming due to their growth times, and the expertise needed. MALDI-TOF MS represents a fast technique, reproducible with molecular approaches. This technique is still poorly applied in Legionella surveillance with estimation occurring only at the genus level.
