A method for quantifying at least one microorganism group via at least one mass spectrometry analysis is described. The method includes at least one separation and fragmentation step. The method moreover includes a step that involves measuring the amount of at least one representative peptide or at least one protein representing the microorganism group. The at least one representative peptide or the at least one protein is obtained after the at least one separation and fragmentation step and serves as a quantification marker(s). The amount of the quantification marker(s) is directly correlatable to the amount of the at least one microorganism group.

The present invention pertains to a method of detection, by mass spectrometry, of at least one marker of at least one mechanism of resistance to at least one antimicrobial, resistance of at least one microorganism contained in a sample, characterized in that the antimicrobial is a carbapenem, and said resistance markers are proteins or peptides. Preferably, said proteins or peptides are proteins from said microorganism.
