Method for analyzing microorganism

Abstract

A method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of abony and pakistan which are two serotypes of Salmonella bacteria 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 of Salmonella bacteria 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 of Salmonella bacteria 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.
