Evaluation of a Rapid and Simplified Protocol for Direct Identification of Microorganisms From Positive Blood Cultures by Using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)

Evaluation of a Rapid and Simplified Protocol for Direct Identification of Microorganisms From Positive Blood Cultures by Using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)

Early and rapid identification of microorganisms is critical for reducing the mortality rate caused by bloodstream infections (BSIs). The accuracy and feasibility of directly identifying pathogens in positive blood cultures by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrome...
