Outline of Final Research Achievements

We established a method for rapidly detecting and identifying noxious microorganisms using high performance liquid chromatograph mass spectrography and capillary electrophoresis mass spectrography. We estimated the measured accurate mass of the microbial metabolite using LC/MS or CE/MS system. As a result, we succeeded in identifying noxious microorganisms without isolating microorganisms and PCR.
