Abstract

•Genotype 1 and 2 M. haemolytica have distinct mass spectrum profiles.•A MALDI-TOF MS assay was developed that identifies M. haemolytica genotypes 1 and 2.•The assay can be easily adapted into diagnostic labs using conventional MALDI-TOF MS.

Genotype 2 M. haemolytica predominantly associate over genotype 1 with the lungs of cattle with respiratory disease and ICEs containing antimicrobial resistance genes. Distinct protein masses were detected by MALDI-TOF MS between genotype 1 and 2 strains. MALDI-TOF MS could rapidly differentiate genotype 2 strains in veterinary diagnostic laboratories.
