Abstract
We evaluated the use of MALDI-TOF MS for the identification of 3 major, dairy-associatedspecies, namely,(formerlygenotype 2),, and(formerlygenotype 1). The MALDI-TOF MS spectra established for those species were introduced into the reference spectra library of the Bruker Biotyper MALDI-TOF MS analysis software. Next, 31isolates from Holstein cows with mastitis, from herds located in the midwestern area of São Paulo State, Brazil, were subjected to MALDI-TOF MS profiling. MALDI-TOF MS allowed identification of 22 of 27and 3 of 4isolates with scores >2.0, with 5 of 27and 1 of 4isolates identified only to the genus level. With our extended algae database, MALDI-TOF MS can contribute to quick and effective speciation offrom mastitis cases.
