Abstract
A microorganism identification method utilizing mass spectrometry is provided. More specifically, a method for identifying a phylotype of Cutibacterium acnes utilizing mass spectrometry is provided. The method includes a) a step for reading out a m/z value of a peak derived from a marker protein on a mass spectrum which is obtained by mass spectrometry of a sample containing microorganisms; and b) a step for judging whether the sample contains Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) based on the m/z value.
