Evaluation of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for the identification of medically-important yeasts in the clinical laboratories of Dijon and Lille hospitals
11 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Conventional identification (CI) of yeasts is based on morphological, biochemical and/or immunological methods. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization - time of flight (MALDI-TOF or MT-MS) mass spectrometry has been proposed as a new method for the identification of microorganisms. This prospective study compared the performance of MT-MS and CI for the identification of yeasts isolated from clinical samples....
