Rapid Diagnosis of Mycobacterium abscessus Bacteremia Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

Case report PDF Eun Jeong Won*, Yong Jun Choi*, Soo Hyun Kim, Jong Hee Shin Department of Laboratory Medicine, Chonnam National University Medical School, Gwangju, Korea Corresponding to Jong Hee Shin, E-mail: shinjh@chonnam.ac.kr Ann Clin Microbiol 2016;19(3):77-81. https://doi.org/10.5145/ACM.2016.19.3.77Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Mycobacterium abscessus was isolated from cultures of seven blood samples from a 64-year-old diabetic female who was admitted due to steroid-unresponsive adrenal insufficiency. The isolates were difficult to identify using the conventional commercial systems, VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, France) or MicroScan (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, USA), but were rapidly identified as M. abscessus by a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)-based Bruker Biotyper system (Bruker Daltonics, USA). Identification of M. abscessus was confirmed by a reverse hybridization-based assay (Genotype Mycobacterium CM/AS 12, Hain Lifescience) and direct sequencing of a heat-shock protein gene. After removal of her central venous catheter, the patient was successfully treated

Species Distribution and Antifungal Susceptibility of Yeasts Isolated from Ear Specimens

Original article PDF Yong Jun Kwon, Seung A Byun, Min Ji Choi, Eun Jeong Won, Soo Hyun Kim, Jong Hee Shin Department of Laboratory Medicine, Chonnam National University Medical School, Gwangju, Korea Corresponding to Jong Hee Shin, E-mail: shinjh@chonnam.ac.kr Ann Clin Microbiol 2019;22(4):81-89. https://doi.org/10.5145/ACM.2019.22.4.81Copyright © Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology. Abstract Background: Candida auris was first isolated from the ears of Japanese and Korean patients. However, the prevalence of yeast isolates from ear cultures and their antifungal susceptibility profiles in these nations remain unclear. Methods: We assessed yeast isolates recovered from ear cultures from a university hospital in Korea over a 4-year period from January 2014 to December 2017. Species identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and/or sequence analysis. Antifungal minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using the broth microdilution method of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Results: Among 81 non-duplicate isolates from ear cultures,

Abstract Vanrija humicola, a yeast belonging to Trichosporonaceae, is rarely pathogenic. All cases of isolation of V. humicola were retrospectively reviewed from 2021 to 2023. A total of four V. humicola were isolated from urine samples. Organisms cultured for 5 days at 25°C produced yellow, dry and cerebriform
