Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION.: This study aimed to evaluate different methods for differentiation of species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) that caused infections in hospitalized immunocompromised patients. METHODS.: A total of 134 CoNS strains were characterized using four different methods. RESULTS.: The results of matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis were in...
