description | There are various sources of microbial air pollution which are seems to be a serious public health
problem all over the world. For prevention and control of air pollution caused by airborne bacteria,
rapid, sensitive and reliable detection techniques are required. Therefore, our study focused on using
MALDI Biotyper (MBT) for rapid recognition of various microbial air pollutants. Five hundred air samples
were collected from three localities, including Qassim University (150 samples), Al-Qassim hospitals
(250 samples) and poultry slaughter houses (100 samples). All air samples were collected by impactor
air sampler from the indoor and outdoor environment. All samples were cultivated on nutrient and
blood agar media for two days and a total of 129 isolates were purified for proteomic analysis using
MALDI Biotyper (MBT) then confirmed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). One hundred
and nineteen (92.25%) isolates were identified by MBT at the species level with a log (score) value
≥2. 000 whereas; 10 (7.75%) isolates were detected at the genus level with score values ranged from
1.7000 to 1.999. The MBT was able to identify 93 (72.10%) gram-positive and 36 (27.90%) gram-negative
bacterial isolates. The most common genera were Staphylococcus (n = 43, 33.33%), Escherichia (n =
16, 12.40%), Enterococcus (n = 15, 11.63%) and Bacillus (n = 15, 11.63%). Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli were the most frequently identified species (n = 16, 12.40% for each). In general, we
detected 53 (41.10%) various bacterial species in Al-Qassim hospitals, 41 (31.79%) in poultry slaughter
houses and 35 (27.13%) in Qassim University. Throughout Al-Qassim region, the air was tainted by
numerous environmental microorganisms, and the MBT was positively adjusted for their fast and
accurate identification. |
