Abstract

The combination of the Portable Microbe Enrichment Unit (PMEU) cultivation and ChemPro100i ® Chemical Detector helps the fast detection of hospital infections. The first alarm of the microbe metabolism and growth in the enrichment culture was achieved in 2–3 h when pure cultures of strains isolated from neonatal patients were tested. For the detection of minor concentrations of the bacteria, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella and Escherichia strains were diluted to 0.5–600 cells per ml. Their preliminary detection was achieved within 4–5 h. The combination of enrichment culture (PMEU) and detection of bacterial products by ion mobility spectrometer is a rapid and sensitive method for diagnosis of bacterial growth. This finding warrants further studies with clinical samples.
