The lipidome of the marine hyperthermophilic archaeonPyrococcus furiosuswas studied by means of combined thin-layer chromatography and MALDI-TOF/MS analyses of the total lipid extract. 80–90% of the major polar lipids were represented by archaeol lipids (diethers) and the remaining part by caldarchaeol lipids (tetraethers). The direct analysis of lipids on chromatography plate showed the presence of the diphytanylglycerol analogues of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol, theN-acetylglucosamine-diphytanylglycerol phosphate plus some caldarchaeol lipids different from those previously described. In addition, evidence for the presence of the dimeric ether lipid cardiolipin is reported, suggesting that cardiolipins are ubiquitous in archaea.

Purpose:We report a case of a 72-year-old man with bleb-related endophthalmitis (BRE) whose vitreous samples were directly analyzed with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to rapidly identify the causative organism, whereas the results from conventional microbiological techniques were negative.Methods:We analyzed BRE vitreous samples with MALDI-TOF MS (Vitek MS, bioMérieux) for rapid pathogen identification without prior culture. Samples were also analyzed with standard microbiological methods.Results:Within 1 hour of sample acquisition, MALDI-TOF MS identified Gemella sanguinis from the undiluted vitreous sample from vitrectomy without prior culture with a confidence value of 99.7%. Gram stain and cultures from aqueous and vitreous samples were negative for 28 days after acquisition. The patient’s right-eye vision improved from hand motion to 20/50 2 months later.Conclusions:Our findings suggest that the direct analysis of intraocular samples with MALDI-TOF MS could be a novel, promising adjuvant method of rapid endophthalmitis diagnosis.

Posttraumatic infections can occur in orthopedic trauma patients, especially in open fractures. Rapid and accurate identification of pathogens in orthopedic trauma is important for clinical diagnosis and antimicrobial treatment. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been successfully used for first-line identification of pathogens grown on culture plates. However, for direct analysis of liquid clinical specimens, pre-purification of the sample is necessary. Herein, we investigated the feasibility of coupling Fc-MBL@Fe3O4 enrichment with MALDI-TOF MS profiling in the identification of pathogens in liquid-cultured samples. This method is successfully used for the identification of pathogens in a patient with an open-leg fracture obtained at sea. Pathogens were enriched by Fc-MBL@Fe3O4 from briefly pre-cultured liquid media and identified by MALDI-TOF MS. We identified an opportunistic pathogen, Vibrio alginolyticus, which is uncommon in clinical orthopedic trauma infection but exists widely in the sea. Therefore, combining Fc-MBL@Fe3O4 enrichment and MALDI-TOF MS profiling has great potential for direct identification of microbes in clinical samples.
