Comparative evaluation of two matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) systems for the identification of clinically significant yeasts

Objectives: To prospectively evaluate the performance of two matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry systems (MALDI-TOF MS) for the identification of clinically significant yeast isolates compared to the VITEK 2 system. Methods: One hundred and eighty-eight cons...
