Performance of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry for identification of bacterial strains routinely isolated in a clinical microbiology laboratory

Autor: Gilbert Greub, Christian Durussel, Jacques Bille, Alain Bizzini, Guy Prod'hom

Publikováno v: Journal of clinical microbiology. 48(5)

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has recently been introduced in diagnostic microbiology laboratories for the identification of bacterial and yeast strains isolated from clinical samples. In
