Presented By:
Maria Pardos de la Gandara, MD, PhD
Markus Meyer, PhD
Speaker Biography:
Dr. Maria Pardos de la Gandara is Deputy Director at the French National Reference Centre for E. coli, Shigella & Salmonella, hosted by the Enteric Bacterial Pathogens Unit at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, and participates with the World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre hosted in the same BPE Unit. Her work focuses on the identification, typing and sub-typing of Salmonella, in the front line of epidemiological surveillance, as well as in the detection of emerging mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance.
Dr. Maria Pardos de la Gandara is a Medical Microbiologist and holds a PhD in Microbiology, Preventive Medicine and Public Health from the University of Saragossa, Spain. She conducted six years of research on Staphylococcus aureus microbial epidemiology in the University of Rockefeller, in New York, United States, before joining the FNRC-ESS in France in 2018.
Dr. Markus Meyer is the global Product Manager for the IR Biotyper® and the CARE Consumables, within the Microbiology and Diagnostics (M&D) Business Area of Bruker Daltonics GmbH & Co. KG in Bremen, Germany. He had a role as Product Manager with Bruker Daltonics since 2010, for various life science mass spectrometry instruments, before joining the M&D team in 2018. Dr. Markus Meyer studied Microbiology and got his PhD in Cell Biology at the University of Münster, Germany.
Webinar:
IR Biotyper® - New insights into microorganism strain- and serotyping by FT-IR spectroscopy
Webinar Abstract:
With the IR Biotyper®, Dr. Markus Meyer will introduce the audience into the world of FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared) technology and elucidate how it can bring new insights into microorganism strain- and serotyping. The IR Biotyper®, based on FT-IR spectroscopy, can be used in an easy and cost-effective manner, to differentiate microorganisms on the strain level, usually referred to as strain typing. The features and benefits of the latest software updates will be presented, with classification of strains by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a highlight, as well as the software connection between Bruker’s IR Biotyper® and MALDI Biotyper®.
Dr. Maria Pardos de la Gandara will show some preliminary work that her laboratory has performed using FT-IR technology on the study of enteric pathogens such as Salmonella. The French National Reference Centre for E. coli, Shigella and Salmonella aims to test the ability of FT-IR to correctly distinguish Salmonella serotypes, mainly between typhoidal and non-typhoidal serotypes. Secondly, Dr. Pardos de la Gandara and her team aim to put the FT-IR technology to the test in the difficult issue of correctly typing Salmonella Paratyphi B and biotype Java, which has important clinical implications. As a third topic, Dr. Pardos de la Gandara wants to elucidate whether the IR Biotyper is able to discern outbreak isolates from other isolates belonging to the same serotypes.
