Different MALDI-TOF MS databases were evaluated for the identification of Achromobacter species. The in-house and extended database generated in this study rendered more accurate identification (58/64 and 57/64 isolates, respectively) in comparison with the Bruker commercial database (42/64 isolates), especially in those infrequent species that are not available or poorly represented.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and spore-forming bacterium strain designation, B190/17, was isolated from an air monitoring sample of a Brazilian immunobiological production facility in 2017. The strain was not identifiable by biochemical methodology VITEK 2 or by MALDI-TOF MS with VITEK MS RUO and MALDI Biotyper. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results showed 98.

Recently, mass spectrometers based on MALDI-TOF MS, which can rapidly identify microorganisms, have become widely used, contributing to the proper use of antimicrobial agents and diagnosis of infectious diseases through rapid reporting of bacterial species. We had the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the I-dOne, a microorganism identification system using the ATR-FTIR method. A total of 174 strains, 78 of 11 Grampositive bacteria and 96 of 12 Gram-negative bacteria, registered in the I-dOne database were used.

Filamentous fungi are an emergent cause of severe infections in immunocompromised patients. Timely and accurate identification is crucial to initiate appropriate therapy. Traditional identification methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and operator-dependent.
