Isolation and Identification of Aliarcobacter from Fecal Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Aliarcobacter isolates from fecal samples were cultivated in Arcobacter broth (Oxoid GmbH, Wesel, Germany) which was supplemented with three different antibiotics (cefoperazone, amphotericin, and teicoplanin (CAT), Oxoid GmbH). The broth was then spread on plates (Mueller–Hinton agar/CAT/5% defibrinated bovine blood, Sifin GmbH, Berlin, Germany). The incubation criteria for each step were: 48–72 h, 30 °C and microaerophilic atmosphere (5% O2, 10% CO2, and 85% N2). Suspicious colonies were further cultivated and then identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as described before [32 (link),33 (link)]. IVD Bacterial Test Standard and Biotyper 3.1 software were used (Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany). DNA was purified using the High Pure PCR Template Preparation Kit (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) following the manufacturer’s instructions, and the species identification was confirmed with a multiplex PCR assay [34 (link)].

Bacteria were cultured from single colonies as described above. They were suspended in 300 μL of water and precipitated with 900 μL of ethanol (96% vol/vol; Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). After centrifugation for 5 min at 10,000 × g, the supernatant was removed and the pellet was resuspended in 50 μL of 70% (vol/vol) formic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Steinheim, Germany). Then, 50 μL of aceto-nitrile (Carl Roth GmbH) was added, mixed, and centrifuged for 5 min at 10,000 × g. The supernatant was transferred into a new tube, 1.5 μL of the supernatant was spotted onto an MTP 384 Target Plate Polished Steel TF (Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany), and air-dried. The dried extract was overlaid with 2 μL of a saturated solution of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH) in a solution of 50% acetonitrile and 2.5% trifluoroacetic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH). Air-drying at room temperature followed. Spectra were acquired with an Ultraflex instrument (Bruker Daltonik GmbH) in the linear positive mode in the range of 2,000 to 20,000 Da; acceleration voltage was 25 kV. The instrument was calibrated with the IVD Bacterial Test Standard (Bruker Daltonik GmbH). Mass spectra were acquired with 500 shots. Analysis was done with the Biotyper 3.1 software (Bruker Daltonik GmbH).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
