The Robert Koch-Institute (RKI) database of microbial MALDI-TOF mass spectra contains mass spectral entries from highly pathogenic (biosafety level 3, BSL-3) bacteria such as Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei and Francisella tularensis as well as a selection of spectra from their close and more distant relatives. The RKI mass spectral database can be used as a reference for the diagnostics of BSL-3 bacteria using proprietary and free software packages for MALDI-TOF MS-based microbial identification. The database itself is distributed as a zip archive that contains the original mass spectra in its native data format (Bruker Daltonics). Please refer to the pdf file (161027-ZENODO-Metadata.pdf) to obtain information on the metadata of the spectra. Do not try to print this document (~1000 pages!)
The pkf-file (161027_zenodo_Peaklist_(30Peaks1,6).pkf ) contains so-called database spectra in a Matlab compatible format. The latter data file can be imported into MicrobeMS, a Matlab-based free-of-charge software solution developed at the RKI. MicrobeMS is available from http://www.microbe-ms.com.
For the future it is intended to update the RKI database of MALDI-TOF mass spectra on a regular basis.
The author's grateful thanks are given to the following persons for providing microbial strains and species. Without their help this work would not be possible.
