Abstract: Objective Evaluation of the application of MADLI-TOF MS in rapid identification of T. marneffei. Methods T. marneffei isolates were collected from Guangzhou, Yulin and Fangchenggang. All the isolates identified by ITS region amplification and sequencing. The strains were pretreated by glass bead grinding and formic acid/acetonitrile extraction. The spectra of the mold and yeast phase colonies of the establishment strains on different plates and at different time points were obtained. The collected spectra were used for the establishment of the super-spectrum. The remaining isolates and other common clinical fungi isolates were used to evaluate the self-established database. Results The super-spectrum of T. marneffei with 39 characteristic peaks was established. The RUO SARAMIS database was expanded. All the validation strains were correctly identified by the expanded database, with an accuracy of 100%. Conclusion MADLI-TOF MS can quickly and accurately identify T. marneffei by the expanded database.
