MALDI-TOF MS Approaches for the Identification of the Susceptibility of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT: The increase in multidrug-resistant microorganisms that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases is a serious problem worldwide. Recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been used for the rapid detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The objective of this study was to establish a method to detect ESBL-producing Escherichia coli by monitoring the hydrolyzation of cefotaxime (CTX) using MALDI-TOF MS. According to the ratio of the peak intensity of CTX and hydrolyzed-CTX-related compounds, the ESBL-producing strains could be clearly distinguished after 15 min of incubation. Moreover, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for E. coli were 8 μg/mL and lower than 4 μg/mL, which could be dist
