Outline of Final Research Achievements

The applicant focused on MALDI-TOF MS technology and examined discrimination of Extended spectrumβ-lactamasesEnterobacteriaceae(ESBL) and carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae(CPE).As a result of analyzing ESBL and CPE with ClinPro Tools and flexAnalysis, both sensitivity and specificity were low in discrimination at highly specific peaks and analysis by various algorithms.
However, in the IUHW2 method originally developed by the applicant, only CPE showed a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 70%, suggesting that they are useful for detection. About analysis by this IUHW2 method, we think that further examination is necessary about Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. etc.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究ではESBL産生菌およびCPE産生菌にて得られたマススペクトル波形を利用して迅速に薬剤耐性菌を鑑別する技術の開発を実施した。その結果、既存のClinPro Tools(特異ピーク、各種アルゴリズム解析) やflexAnalysis (特異ピーク)では鑑別が困難であったが、独自に開発した共通ピーク除去解析技術(IUHW2法)ではCPE産生菌のみ感度82%、特異度70%を示し検出に有用性があることが示唆された。このIUHW2法は簡易にコンピュターシステムにより自動的に波形解析が実施できるため、緑膿菌やアシネトバクターなど多くの薬剤耐性菌の鑑別にも応用できる可能性が示唆された。
