Abstract:
The pathogens Rodentibacter (R.) pneumotropicus and R. heylii as well as the commensal Muribacter (M.) muris are frequently isolated in mice. In this study, a MALDI-TOF MS database was extended with spectra of well characterized strains of these species. Compared to a multiplex PCR, all examined out-of-sample isolates were correctly identified.
