Current developments to use linear MALDI‐TOF spectra for the identification and typing of bacteria and the characterization of other cells/organisms related to infectious diseases

Abstract excerpt

Within the past few years identification of bacteria by MALDI-TOF MS has become a standard technique in bacteriological laboratories for good reasons. MALDI-TOF MS identification is rapid, robust, automatable, and the per-sample costs are low. Yet, the spectra are very informative and the reliable identification of bacterial species is usually possible. Recently, new MS-based approaches for the identification of...
