Abstract
A method for characterizing at least one microorganism from a sample includes identifying the at least one microorganism and determining the properties of typing, potential resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor. The properties of typing, resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor for the at least one microorganism are determined by implementing mass spectrometry using proteins, peptides and/or metabolites as markers of the properties of typing, resistance to at least one antimicrobial, and virulence factor.
