Use of MALDI-TOF MS to Discriminate between Biofilm-Producer and Non-Producer Strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis

Use of MALDI-TOF MS to Discriminate between Biofilm-Producer and Non-Producer Strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis

For the management of Staphylococci coagulase-negative infection, often related to biofilm formation, rapid and accurate identification is necessary in choosing a correct antibiotic therapy. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) is becoming inc...
