“…Recent inclusion of reference spectra for a representative strain of Ignatzschineria indica in the Bruker database may make possible more frequent identification of this species by MALDI-TOF MS in the future [19,28]. Indeed, as reported by Rodriguez-Zuniga et al [24], Deslandes et al [19], and Snyder et al [26], I. indica from blood cultures of patients with sepsis or bacteremia has correctly been identified by MALDI-TOF MS. As shown in our case, the identification of the species I. larvae by MALDI-TOF MS was still not possible. Currently, the most accurate method for identifying Ignatzschineria spp.…”
