In this study, the volatile molecule profile of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes was evaluated using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and two dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS). Here, seven serotypes (6B, 14, 15, 18C, 19F, 9V, and 23F) were analyzed in an isogenic background. We identified 13 core molecules associated with all seven serotypes, and seven molecules that were differentially produced between serotypes. Serotype 14 was found to have the most distinct volatile profile, and could be discriminated from the other six serotypes in aggregate with an area under the curve (AUC) of 89%. This study suggests that molecules from S. pneumoniae culture headspace show potential for rapid serotype identification.
