Evaluation of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (VITEK-MS) compared to the ANC card (VITEK 2) for the identification of clinically significant anaerobes

ABSTRACT Introduction: The identification of anaerobic bacteria by conventional methods employed in clinical laboratories requires a lot of work and a long response time [turnaround time (TAT)]. Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is an accura...
