Comparison of MALDI-TOF MS With HPLC and Nucleic Acid Sequencing for the Identification of Mycobacterium Species in Cultures Using Solid Medium and Broth
16 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The genus Mycobacterium contains over 150 species including pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains. Accurate species level identification can aid in differentiating environmental contamination from true infection, and also can aid in selection of antimicrobial therapy. METHODS: We evaluated the performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for...
