Abstract excerpt
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry was investigated for rapid characterization of food-borne bacterial pathogens. Nine isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and one isolate each of Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio hollisae, and Vibrio vulnificus were analyzed. Pyrolysis mass spectra, generated via an alternative ionization method, metastable atom bombardment, were subject to principal component-discriminant analysis. The spectral...
