Bacterial infections are a major threat to human health worldwide. A better understanding of the properties and physiology of bacterial pathogens in human tissues is required to develop urgently needed novel control strategies. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics could yield such data, but identifying and quantifying scarce bacterial proteins against a preponderance of human proteins is challenging. Here, we explored the recently introduced SureQuant method for highly sensitive targeted mass spectrometry. Using a major human pathogen, the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus , as an example, we evaluated several parameters, including the number of targets and intensity thresholds, for optimal qualitative and quantitative protein analysis. By comparison, we found that SureQuant achieved the same quantitative performance as standard parallel reaction monitoring while allowing accurate and precise quantification of up to 400 targets. SureQuant also surpassed the sensitivity and quantification capabilities of global data-independent acquisition methods. Finally, to facilitate method development, we provide optimized MS parameters for the sensitive quantification of different peptide panel sizes. This study provides a foundation for the broader application of SureQuant in the analysis of clinical specimens containing trace amounts of bacterial proteins as well as other studies requiring ultrasensitive detection of low-abundant proteins.
