Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae is important for monitoring of vaccine impact. Unfortunately, conventional and molecular serotyping is expensive and technically demanding. This study aimed to determine the ability of matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry to discriminate between pneumococcal serotypes and genotypes (defined by global...
