Performance of mass spectrometric identification of bacteria and yeasts routinely isolated in a clinical microbiology laboratory using MALDI-TOF MS.
1 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is an emerging technology newly applied to identifying bacterial and yeast strains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the VITEK(®) MS system in the identification of bacteria and yeast strains routinely isolated from clinical samples. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed routine...
