1 Safety and Accuracy Assessment of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Platforms for the Detection of Biological Threats James T. Rudrik, Ph.D. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

2 Preparation Safety Study Determined viability of BT agents using direct, extended direct, and tube extraction Bacillus anthracis Sterne, Brucella abortus Strain 19, Francisella tularensis LVS, Yersinia pestis A1122, Burkholderia thailandensis ATCC 70038, Clostridium spp (botulinum types A, B, E, and perfringens) Some isolates of B. anthracis, C. botulinum, F. tularensis, Y. pestis, and B. abortus survived the direct and extended direct prep methods None survived the tube extraction B. anthracis, B. thuringiensis, B. cereus, B. subtilis survived tube extraction in other studies Use tube extraction AND 0.1 µm filter for hazardous organisms

3 Study Design Determine ability of Bruker and Vitek software libraries to accurately identify BT agents Test IVD, ROU, and Security Libraries independently Panel of 6 strains and 6 near neighbors for each agent B. anthracis, Y. pestis, F. tularensis (5), C. botulinum (4), B. mallei, B. pseudomallei, Brucella spp. Select isolates from AOAC Stakeholder Panel on Agent Detection Assays (SPADA) inclusivity and exclusivity panels Each isolate tested in triplicate Challenges No SPADA panels for C. botulinum or Brucella spp. Isolate availability and shipping No tube extraction procedure for Vitek MS

4 Study Limitations Samples were prepared by four labs, shipped and stored frozen Some participants tested extracts beyond the 45 day time frame established in the study protocol Some participants prepared new targets for testing each software library

5 Bruker Microflex Software libraries: IVD (version 1, n = 210), RUO (version 3, n = 2,500), Security (version 1, n = 12) Sample score of > 2.0 was considered accurate ID to genus and species Published studies validated samples scores between 1.7 and 1.9 for species level identification for some organisms

24 Conclusions Software libraries for BT agents need improvement Addition of BT agents to IVD software Availability of alternative libraries i.e. MicrobeNet Laboratories must be aware of software limitations Partial or incorrect identifications Additional training by manufacturer or BT coordinator MALDI-TOF currently not reliable for ID of BT agents Critical thinking about ID does the result make sense Continue use of rule out and refer protocols
