Introduction

The MicrobeMS software package is a program specifically designed for the analysis of MALDI-TOF mass spectra of microbial samples. The MicrobeMS software was developed by Peter Lasch at the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) in Berlin/Germany and can be used to identify microbial strains and species based on their mass spectral patterns. The program is a comprehensive Matlab-based package that operates under Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 and LINUX (Debian, MicrobeMS versions later than 0.81). Original MALDI-TOF mass spectra in the format defined by Bruker Daltonics or by Shimadzu (via the mzXML data format) can be imported, processed and converted into a Matlab data matrix format specific to the MicrobeMS program.

The software allows standard mass spectrometry manipulations such as smoothing, baseline correction, normalization, peak detection, auto-calibration and some other functions. Since the software also runs in a full Windows or LINUX 64-bit environment, the number of spectra in the data sets is limited only by the amount of available memory (RAM).
