Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry: a New Possibility for the Identification and Typing of Anaerobic Bacteria

Abstract excerpt

Anaerobic bacteria predominate in the normal flora of humans and are important, often life-threatening pathogens in mixed infections originating from the indigenous microbiota. The isolation and identification of anaerobes by phenotypic and DNA-based molecular methods at a species level is time-consuming and laborious. Following the successful adaptation of the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization...
