Abstract

This study compared the EXS 2600 system with the MALDI Biotyper for identifying microorganisms in dairy samples. Of the 196 bacterial isolates from milk, whey, buttermilk, cream, and dairy wastewater, the species and genus consistent identification between two systems showed 74% and 99%, respectively. However, the level of species identification rate exhibited a difference, which was higher in Zybio than in Bruker-76.0% and 66.8%, respectively. Notably, the EXS 2600 system performed better with certain yeast species and H. alvei, while the Biotyper excelled with Pseudomonas bacteria. Unique microbial compositions were found in 85% of dairy samples, with whey and buttermilk having the highest diversity. This research highlights the EXS 2600's potential as a reliable dairy microbial identification tool and underscores the need for a more diverse and comprehensive spectral database, despite the database's focus on clinical applications (as announced).
