Short description (English)	Development and validation of a MALDI-TOF MS microbial database for rapid identification of public-, animal-, and plant-health relevant environmental bacteria.
Abstract (English)	MALDI-TOF MS is an emerging tool for routine identification of microorganisms. Reliable identification depends upon a validated and comprehensive database of peptide mass fingerprints. Such databases are currently only available for selected human pathogenic bacteria. Potential applications in wider areas of microbiology present a lucrative market niche. The aim of this project is to develop and validate a robust database useful for routine application in plant, animal and wider public health fields.
