- Abstract
Mycobacteroides (Mycobacterium) abscessus, which causes a variety of infectious diseases in humans, is becoming detected more frequently in clinical specimens as cases are spreading worldwide. Taxonomically, M. abscessus is composed of three subspecies of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, M. abscessus subsp. bolletii, and M. abscessus subsp. massiliense, with different susceptibilities to macrolides. In order to identify rapidly these three subspecies, we determined useful biomarker proteins, including ribosomal protein L29, L30, and hemophore-related protein, for distinguishing the subspecies of M. abscessus using the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) profiles. Thirty-three clinical strains of M. abscessus were correctly identified at the subspecies-level by the three biomarker protein peaks. This study ultimately demonstrates the potential of routine MALDI-MS-based laboratory methods for early identification and treatment for M. abscessus infections.
