A targeted metabolomics method was developed to demonstrate the utility of HPLC/MS/MS-based metabolic profiling in rapidly (4 h) differentiating E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, two of the most notorious foodborne bacteria, at both the species and strain/serovar levels. The results indicated that our approach has great potential in the future for fast and specific detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria based on their metabolic diversity.
