Typing of Streptococcus pyogenes by pyrolysis mass spectrometry

Department of Microbiology, Children's Hospital, Sheffield.

Strains of Streptococcus pyogenes from an outbreak in an oncology ward (13) and routine isolates from sporadic cases (6) were examined blind by pyrolysis mass spectrometry (Py-MS), extending previous work on epidemiological typing. This outbreak appeared more complex than one reported previously, but Py-MS and conventional typing results were in complete agreement. The results confirm the potential of Py-MS as a rapid method for identification at strain level in studies of cross infection.
