Concordance of species identification by conventional and ICMS methods.

a<p>In the case of absence or discordance of identifications by conventional and ICMS, the correct species was identified by sequencing of the 16S rDNA locus.</p

Relatedness of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> ICMS spectra reflects serotype.

<p>(A) Global cluster analysis of <i>S. enterica</i> isolates. (B) Enlargement of major clusters from (A). Serovars: <i>S</i>. Typhi (red), <i>S.</i> Typhimurium (green), <i>S</i>. Enteritidis (yellow), others (blue). Isolate sources: G:Göttingen; R:Salmonella Reference Center; E:Eikwe; N:Nkawkaw; f:Fosso. Isolation time points in Ghana (E, N, and f only): not bold  = 2006; bold  = 2009 (C) Overlay of ICMS spectra contained in the four major clusters identifies at least one major peak (peak 2; m/z  = 5713.9) specific to <i>S</i>. Typhi (red) and two major peaks (peaks 1 and 3; m/z = 5616.7 and m/z = 6009.7 respectively) specific for non-<i>S</i>. Typhi isolates (green, yellow and blue). Several other small peaks specific for <i>S</i>. Typhi were also seen (three example peaks indicated in cluster IIb by arrows, m/z = 2856.4, m/z = 3258.0, and m/z = 4716.3, respectively).</p

Value of BioTyper hit scores for <i>S.</i> Typhi identification.

<p>Negative values indicated higher false hit scores, positive values indicated higher correct hit scores. A value near zero indicated a similar score distribution between correct and false hits.</p

Growth curves in BHIS of DSM 27638, DSM 27639 and DSM 27640. The isolates were grown in brain heart infusion medium containing 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract und 0.03% (w/v) L-cysteine. All isolates have the same growth rate under laboratory conditions as shown as the means of three replicates with standard deviation. (DOCX 55 kb
