Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Peak Analysis: Application to the Discrimination of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> Species Complex and Their Interspecies Hybrids

Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and Peak Analysis: Application to the Discrimination of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> Species Complex and Their Interspecies Hybrids

Matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been widely implemented for the rapid identification of microorganisms. Although most bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi can be accurately identified with this method, some closely related species sti...
