MALDI-TOF MS-Based Approaches for Direct Identification of Gram-Negative Bacteria and <i>Bla</i><sub>KPC</sub>-Carrying Plasmid Detection from Blood Cultures: A Three-Year Single-Centre Study and Proposal of a Diagnostic Algorithm

MALDI-TOF MS-Based Approaches for Direct Identification of Gram-Negative Bacteria and <i>Bla</i><sub>KPC</sub>-Carrying Plasmid Detection from Blood Cultures: A Three-Year Single-Centre Study and Proposal of a Diagnostic Algorithm

The rapid identification of pathogens of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and the detection of antibiotic resistance markers are critically important for optimizing antibiotic therapy and infection control. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two approaches based on MALDI-TOF MS technology for di...
