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 98.51% similarity with FJAT 27215, 98.28% with '' CX 253, 97.96% with MTCC 1458, 97.63% with FJAT 46582 and 97.21% with SGZ8. Biochemical data showed that the strain was alanine arylamidase-, Ala-Phe-Pro arylamidase-, ELLMAN (cysteine residues)-, leucine arylamidase-, phenyalanine arylamidase- and tyrosine arylamidase-positive. The genomic DNA G+C% content of B190/17 was 41.6 mol%. The phylogenetic, genomic taxonomy and biochemical tests suggested that B190/17 represents a novel species and should be classified as the type strain of a novel species. The name sp. nov. was proposed. After characterization, B190/17 was added to the MALDI Biotyper database as sp. nov.

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales are a growing concern in public health. In order to rapidly determine the antimicrobial profile, the MALDI Biotyper - antibiotic susceptibility test rapid assay (MBT-ASTRA) was developed, based on the relative growth of bacteria in the presence of antibiotics. In this study, we added carbapenemase enzymatic inhibitors to the MBT-ASTRA and developed an adapted method named MALDI Biotyper - Phenotypic Identification Test Rapid Assay (MBT-PITRA) in order to perform a rapid and cost-effective phenotypic test to detect Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) and New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM), including co-producers, in Enterobacterales.

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.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at the University Hospital Olomouc (UHO) over a 10-year period (2013-2022).
Material And Methods: Data was obtained from the ENVIS LIMS laboratory information system (DS Soft, Czech Republic, Olomouc) of the Department of Microbiology, UHO, for the period 1/1/2013-31/12/2022. Standard microbiological procedures using the MALDI-TOF MS system (Biotyper Microflex, Bruker Daltonics) were applied for the identification.

Unlabelled: Rapid and accurate identification of cultured molds is important to determine clinical significance and therapeutic decision-making. Conventional mold identification uses phenotypic macroscopic and microscopic characterization; however, this can take days or weeks for colony maturity and definitive microscopic structure formation, be limited to genus-level identification, and be misidentified due to morphologic mimics or similarities between closely related species. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) revolutionized bacterial and yeast identification but remains uncommon for molds in part because of limited reference libraries.
