Curie Point Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry and Its Application to Bacterial Systematics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 75))

Abstract

The need to classify, identify and type microorganisms is an ever present theme in microbiology, notably in clinical and industrial microbiology. Here, identification is critical for distinguishing between potential pathogens or spoilage organisms, and commensals or contaminants of no significance. Similarly, the choice of microorganisms for industrial screening programmes, especially those with a low throughput, is primarily a problem of distinguishing between known organisms and recognising new ones. Further, effective typing procedures are essential in epidemiological tracing and in eliminating sources of microbial contamination.
