Abstract

Vibrio (Listonella) anguillarum is a pathogenic bacterium causing septicaemia in a wide range of marine organisms and inducing severe mortalities, thus it is crucial to conduct its accurate and rapid identification. The aim of this study was to assess MALDI-TOF MS as a method of choice for identification of clinical V. anguillarum isolates from affected marine fish. Since the method accuracy might be influenced by the type of the medium used, as well as by the incubation conditions, we tested V. anguillarum isolates grown on standard media with and without the addition of NaCl, cultured at three incubation temperatures, and at three incubation periods. The best scores were retrieved for V. anguillarum strains grown on NaCl-supplemented tryptone soy agar (TSA) at 22°C and incubated for 48h (100 % identification to species level ; overall score 2.232), followed by incubation at 37°C and 48h (100 % to species level ; score 2.192). The strains grown on non-supplemented TSA gave the best readings when incubated at 22°C for 72h (100 % identification to species level ; overall score 2.182), followed by incubation at 15°C for 72h (100 % to species level ; score 2.160). Unreliable identifications and no- identifications were growing with the incubation duration at 37°C, on both media, amounting to 88.89 % for 7d incubation on supplemented TSA, and 92.60 % for 7d incubation on non-supplemented TSA. The age of the cultured strains and use of media significantly impacted the mass spectra, demonstrating that for reliable identification, MALDI-TOF MS protein fingerprinting with the on-target extraction should be performed on strains grown on a NaCl-supplemented medium at temperatures between 15 and 22°C, incubated for 48-72 hours.
