Abstract
A microorganism identification method includes steps of: obtaining a mass spectrum through mass spectrometry of a sample including microorganisms; reading, from the mass spectrum, a mass-to-charge ratio m/z of a peak associated with a marker protein; and identifying which bacterial species of the genusare included in the microorganisms in the sample based on the mass-to-charge ratio m/z. The microorganism identification method is further characterized in that at least one of the following 18 marker proteins is used as the marker protein, S10, L23, S19, L22, L16, L29, S17, L14, L24, S14, L18, L15, L36, S13, S11 (Me), L32, and L7/L12.
