The ionic liquid-assisted sample preparation method pTRUST allows sensitive proteome characterization of a variety of bacterial endospores to aid in the search for protein biomarkers.

Bacterial endospores are ubiquitous and are responsible for various human infections. Recently, we reported that an ionic liquid (IL)-based sample preparation method (named pTRUST) facilitated highly efficient shotgun analysis of the Bacillus subtilis spore proteome in trace samples. In this study,...
