Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rapid detection of AmpC-producing strains of Gram-negative bacteria is beneficial for patient care. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a novel method that has demonstrated the resistance of a strain to β-lactam antibiotics by determining the molecular structure of an antibiotic and its degradation products. AIM: To study the detection of...
