Comparative evaluation of two matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) systems for the identification of clinically significant yeasts

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively evaluate the performance of two matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry systems (MALDI-TOF MS) for the identification of clinically significant yeast isolates compared to the VITEK 2 system. METHODS: One hundred and eighty-eight consecutive yeast isolates were analyzed by Bruker Biotyper and VITEK MS. The results were compared with the conventional...
