Re analysis of the great Gomez Baena et al dataset They arent messing around!

Re analysis of the great Gomez Baena et al dataset They arent messing around!




Yesterday I made a short post on this new study in Open Reports.  Ill be honest, I thought it was a seriously impressive sample set, but I was a little skeptical about the results. Not that I didnt believe the authors could find the bacterial proteins, but I was skeptical that the results could be that clean cut. Ive seen a few "identification of digested bacterial proteins in body fluid" studies and even with high resolution data the matrix is complex enough that there is noise there. These results just seemed a little too good to be true.

Shoutout to ProteomeXchange/PRIDE and these authors for making this data extremely easy to obtain, sort and reprocess overnight!!

For my re-analysis, I threw all the files into PD 2.2 and used the default processing workflow for LTQ-Orbitrap LFQ and LFQ concensus with enhanced annotation.  I made a 77MB FASTA in PD by parsing a UniProt TrembL I downloaded in July on "Steptococcus pneumoniae" and used my normal Uniprot SwissProt human + cRAP databases.

I can confidently say, with no reservations at all, that I believe this group did exactly what they said they did. This readout is the simplest one to display what Im looking at. Green means protein found in that sample.


I have to go into really low scoring stuff before I see a peptide or two from the bacteria flagged as present in the controls -- and the first 2 match cRAP hits as well.

Okay...so this study wasnt published for almost a year from the time it was submitted. Im willing to bet $10 that part of the holdup was that a reviewer (or two) didnt believe the data could be THIS clean. It is.

I dont know how long it takes to culture CSF in a classical microbiology assay to test for these bacteria -- or how trustworthy results from those classic assays are. What I do know --this team has shown clearcut evidence that our technology can make determinations of  CSF infection with 2 hours of instrument time per patient (on a mass spec first released 7 years ago!)

REPOST HAZE Hazecolor Dia 1971 German Hard Psych Rock BEAUTIFUL ALBUM!!! GREAT SOUND HARD PSYCH ROCK WHIT FLUTE SOLOS!!! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!! UMA MANEIRA DE ENCONTRAR O PARA�SO E FUMAR O SEU HAXIXE!! ASSIM ERA DEFINIDO � �POCA O SOM DO HAZE!! GRANDE SOM HARD PSYCH ROCK COM PITADAS DO BLUES, SOLOS DE FLAUTA QUE N�O SE SABE QUAL INTEGRANTE TOCA, VISTO QUE N�O H� ESTA INFORMA��O NA CAPA E NEM NA HIST�RIA DA BANDA!!! O CERTO � QUE � UM SONZA�O ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!!!   The sole album released by Haze featured another of those extraordinary artwork sleeves designed by Walter Seyffer of Nine Days Wonder fame. It was made to look exactly like a slide picture, complete with die-cut cover and an attached transparency Picture center of the group Haze on both its front and back covers. What you get here is a photo reproduction of that artwork. Hazecolor-Dia was a Hauke & Dierks production, recorded during April 1971 at the Clerks Studio. All five tracks were written by Dietmar Low.
