ABSTRACT
Clinical diagnostics and microbiology require high-throughput identification of microorganisms. Sample multiplexing prior to detection is an attractive means to reduce analysis costs and time-to-result. Recent studies have demonstrated the discriminative power of tandem mass spectrometry-based proteotyping. This technology can rapidly identify the most likely taxonomical position of any microorganism, even uncharacterized organisms. Here, we present a simplified label-free multiplexing method to proteotype isolates by tandem mass spectrometry that can identify six microorganisms in a single 20 min analytical run. The strategy involves the production of peptide fractions with distinct hydrophobicity profiles using spin column fractionation. Assemblages of different fractions can then be analyzed using mass spectrometry. Results are subsequently interpreted based on the hydrophobic characteristics of the peptides detected, which make it possible to link each taxon identified to the initial sample. The methodology was tested on 32 distinct sets of six organisms including several worst-scenario assemblages-with differences in sample quantities or the presence of the same organisms in multiple fractions-and proved to be robust. These results pave the way for the deployment of tandem mass spectrometry-based proteotyping in microbiology laboratories.
