A new culture-based method for rapid identification of microorganisms in polymicrobial blood cultures by MALDI-TOF MS

Abstract Background The application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) to microbial identification has allowed the development of rapid methods for identification of microorganisms directly in positive, blood cultures (BCs). These methods...
