Routine identification of microorganisms by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry: Success rate, economic analysis, and clinical outcome

Background: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been widely used in microbial identification. This study evaluated the performance of MALDI-TOF MS and investigated the economic and medical impact of MALDI-TOF MS implementation. Methods: A t...
