Twenty-four blood serum samples from patients with acute methanol poisoning (M) from the mass methanol poisoning outbreak in the Czech Republic in 2012 were compared with 46 patient samples taken four years after poisoning (S) (overlap of 10 people with group M) and with a control group (C) of 24 samples of patients with a similar proportion of chronic alcohol abuse. When comparing any two groups, tens to hundreds of proteins with a significant change in concentration were identified. Fifteen proteins showed significant changes when compared between any two groups. The group with acute methanol poisoning showed significant changes in protein concentrations for at least 64 proteins compared to the other groups. Among the most important identified proteins closely related to intoxication are mainly those involved in blood coagulation, metabolism of vitamin A (increased retinol-binding protein), immune response (e.g., increased complement factor I, complement factors C3 and C5), and lipid transport (increased apolipoprotein A I, apolipoprotein A II, adiponectin). For blood coagulation, the most affected proteins with significant changes in the methanol poisoning group were von Willebrand factor, carboxypeptidase N, alpha-2-antiplasmin (all increased), inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4, kininogen-1, plasma serine protease inhibitor, plasminogen (all decreased). However, heparin administration used for the methanol poisoning group could have interfered with some of the changes in their concentrations. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD035726.

In this dataset we provide MALDI-TOF MS spectra of Escherichia coli. The data presented in this article are related to the article entitled "Stress response of Escherichia coli to essential oil components - insights on low-molecular-weight proteins from MALDI-TOF" (Božik et al., 2018) [1]. Essential oils and their components are known for their antibacterial effect. Many studies evaluated the effect of essential oil components (EOCs) on the cell wall, bacterial membranes, and energetic metabolism. But data about low molecular weight proteins (<20 kDa) are limited. Provided data are focused on bacterial response to EOCs; tetracycline, peroxide and chlorine was used as control as common antibiotic and disinfectant agents used against bacteria. These data describe the effect of tested substances to bacterial protein synthesis.

The antibacterial effects of essential oils and their components (EOCs) are usually attributed to effects on membranes and metabolism. Studies of the effects of EOCs on protein expression have primarily analysed proteins larger than 10 kDa using gel electrophoresis. In the present study, we used MALDI-TOF-MS to investigate the effects of EOCs on low-molecular-weight proteins. From 297 m/z features, we identified 94 proteins with important differences in expression among untreated samples, samples treated with EOCs, and samples treated with antibiotics, peroxide, or chlorine. The targets of these treatments obviously differ, even among EOCs. In addition to ribosomal proteins, stress-, membrane- and biofilm-related proteins were affected. These findings may provide a basis for identifying new targets of essential oils and synergies with other antibiotics.

In the last decade, strains of the genera Franconibacter and Siccibacter have been misclassified as first Enterobacter and later Cronobacter Because Cronobacter is a serious foodborne pathogen that affects premature neonates and elderly individuals, such misidentification may not only falsify epidemiological statistics but also lead to tests of powdered infant formula or other foods giving false results. Currently, the main ways of identifying Franconibacter and Siccibacter strains are by biochemical testing or by sequencing of the fusA gene as part of Cronobacter multilocus sequence typing (MLST), but in relation to these strains the former is generally highly difficult and unreliable while the latter remains expensive. To address this, we developed a fast, simple, and most importantly, reliable method for Franconibacter and Siccibacter identification based on intact-cell matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Our method integrates the following steps: data preprocessing using mMass software; principal-component analysis (PCA) for the selection of mass spectrum fingerprints of Franconibacter and Siccibacter strains; optimization of the Biotyper database settings for the creation of main spectrum projections (MSPs). This methodology enabled us to create an in-house MALDI MS database that extends the current MALDI Biotyper database by including Franconibacter and Siccibacter strains. Finally, we verified our approach using seven previously unclassified strains, all of which were correctly identified, thereby validating our method.IMPORTANCE We show that the majority of methods currently used for the identification of Franconibacter and Siccibacter bacteria are not able to properly distinguish these strains from those of Cronobacter While sequencing of the fusA gene as part of Cronobacter MLST remains the most reliable such method, it is highly expensive and time-consuming. Here, we demonstrate a cost-effective and reliable alternative that correctly distinguishes between Franconibacter, Siccibacter, and Cronobacter bacteria and identifies Franconibacter and Siccibacter at the species level. Using intact-cell MALDI-TOF MS, we extend the current MALDI Biotyper database with 11 Franconibacter and Siccibacter MSPs. In addition, the use of our approach is likely to lead to a more reliable identification scheme for Franconibacter and Siccibacter strains and, consequently, a more trustworthy epidemiological picture of their involvement in disease.
