Unsuitability of MALDI-TOF MS to discriminate Acinetobacter baumannii clones under our routine experimental conditions

MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry) is now in the forefront for routine bacterial species identification methodologies, being its value for clonality assessment controversial. In this work we evaluated the potential of MALDI-TOF MS for assistin...
