Five methods were compared to determine the most accurate method for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) (n = 142 strains). Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) showed the best results for rapid and accurate CoNS differentiation (99.3% of strains correctly identified). An alternative to this approach could be Vitek2 combined with partial...
