Rapid Identification of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Species from Respiratory Specimens Using Nucleotide MALDI-TOF MS
31 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
We performed a prospective study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of nucleotide matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in identifying nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) from clinical respiratory samples. A total of 175 eligible patients were prospectively enrolled, including 108 patients diagnosed with NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) and 67 control patients...
