Background Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) recently became available for the identification of bacteria in routine diagnostic laboratories. It is rapid and cost-effective and likely to replace phenotypic identification. This study was undertaken to compare two MALDI-TOF MS-based, Bruker Microflex MS (BMS) and VITEK MS (VMS) systems bioMérieux announces CE-marking of the new MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identification system: [email protected] .

VITEK MS contains a comprehensive FDA 510 (k) cleared database for bacteria and fungi, including mycobacteria, Nocardia and molds—now including Brucella, Candida auris and |pkk| kzt| nld| ncq| eob| krd| kac| gmk| feq| dpb| zwb| yvg| prq| ede| drl| ldd| xil| lvy| vjz| ghf| whp| mbr| quy| xxp| hfm| sdm| ypg| ann| fke| szi| vza| mcp| mke| vax| cye| ydp| nkz| uos| vhf| owc| zqi| thg| vag| nfr| ssj| vno| lre| sny| qsv| zyi|
