Abstract
[OBJECT] To enable accurate identification of a specific serotype ofbacteria in a method for analyzing a microorganism using a MALDI-MS. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEM] The present invention is a method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of Abony and Pakistan which are two serotypes ofbacteria is contained in a sample which contains either Abony or Pakistan, based on the presence or absence of a peak (or peaks) at a predetermined mass-to-charge ratio (or ratios) in a mass spectrum obtained by a mass spectrometric analysis of the sample, or a method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of Minnesota. Infantis and Brandenburg which are three serotypes ofbacteria is contained in a sample which contains Minnesota. Infantis or Brandenburg, based on the presence or absence of a peak (or peaks) at a predetermined mass-to-charge ratio (or ratios) in a mass spectrum obtained by a mass spectrometric analysis of the sample, or a method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of Schwarzengrund and Montevideo which are two serotypes ofbacteria is contained in a sample which contains either Schwarzengrund or Montevideo, based on the presence or absence of a peak (or peaks) at a predetermined mass-to-charge ratio (or ratios) in a mass spectrum obtained by a mass spectrometric analysis of the sample.
