MALDI-TOF MS is a rapid, sensitive and economic tool for bacterial identification. Highly abundant bacterial proteins are detected by this technique, including ribosomal proteins (r-protein), and the generated mass spectra are compared with a MALDI-TOF MS spectra database. Currently, it allows mainly the classification of clinical bacteria due to the limited number of environmental bacteria included in the spectra database. We present a wide-ranging bacterium classifier tool, called Ribopeaks, which was created based on r-protein data from the Genbank. The Ribopeaks database has more than 28 500 bacterial taxonomic records. It compares the incoming m/z data from MALDI-TOF MS analysis with models stored in the Ribopeaks database created by machine learning and then taxonomically classifies the bacteria.
The software is available at http://www.ribopeaks.com.

基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)是一种快速、敏感且经济的细菌鉴定工具。该技术可检测到高度丰富的细菌蛋白,包括核糖体蛋白(r-protein),并将生成的质谱与 MALDI-TOF MS 质谱数据库进行比较。目前,由于质谱数据库中包含的环境细菌数量有限,它主要用于临床细菌的分类。我们介绍了一种广泛的细菌分类工具,称为 Ribopeaks,它是基于 Genbank 中的 r-protein 数据创建的。Ribopeaks 数据库包含超过 28500 个细菌分类记录。它将来自 MALDI-TOF MS 分析的传入 m/z 数据与通过机器学习在 Ribopeaks 数据库中创建的模型进行比较,然后对细菌进行分类。
