Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) as an Indispensable Tool in Diagnostic Bacteriology: A Comparative Analysis With Conventional Technique
Abstract:Introduction: Owing to its accurate diagnosis, rapid turnaround time, cost effectivity, and less rates of error, Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) has replaced most of the phenotypic methods of identification. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare and evaluate MALDI-TOF MS to conventional biochemical-to identify bacterial microorganisms.Methods: Different bacterial species isolated from 2010 to 2018 (pre-MALDI-TOF era), using routine biochemicals were compared to… Show more
