MIcrobeMS facilitates the generation of XML data files from MALDI-ToF mass spectra, which are necessary for the utilization of MicrobeNet.

MicrobeNet is an free online resource maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, USA, Atlanta). It is designed to assist microbiologists with identifying bacterial and fungal pathogens by MALDI-ToF MS and 16S/ITS gene sequencing. Users of the MicrobeNet MALDI module have the capability of submitting MALDI-ToF data for querying against Bruker Daltonics MALDI Biotyper (MBT) pathogen database, databases maintained by the CDC (bacteria, unidentified bacteria, tick database) and databases of collaborating institutions like ReNaEM (Buenos Aires, Argentina), National Microbiology Lab (Winnipeg, Canada), Robert Koch-Institute (Berlin, Germany) and the Instituto Nacional de Salud (Colombia). This process facilitates the identification of bacterial or fungal species. The objective of MicrobeNet is to identify rare and unusual pathogens online, thereby saving clinical laboratories time and money by eliminating the need to send specimens to specialized laboratories for identification.
