Early bacterial identification and carbapenemase detection from positive blood culture by mass spectrometry and Blue-Carba test

Abstract: Objectives: In this study, we evaluated a rapid and simple protocol for direct identification of microorganisms with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight, Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) after a short incubation in solid medium (3 to 5h). Methods: We have examined a total of 1101 positive blood culture bottles from 782 patients. Results: We obtained a correct identification in 1037 (94.18%); 190 (98.44%) were Staphylococcus aureus, and 386 (98.44%) Enterobacteriaceae. Both are the most f… Show more
