  • Title: A comparison of Api 20A vs MALDI-TOF MS for routine identification of clinically significant anaerobic bacterial strains to the species level.
    Author: Kierzkowska M, Majewska A, Kuthan RT, Sawicka-Grzelak A, Młynarczyk G.
    Journal: J Microbiol Methods; 2013 Feb 15; 92(2):209-12. PubMed ID: 23262031.
    Abstract:
    Adequate identification of anaerobic bacteria still presents a challenge for laboratories conducting microbiological diagnostics. The aim of this study was to compare the use of Api 20A and MALDI-TOF MS techniques for identification of obligate anaerobes. The results indicate that MALDI-TOF MS ensures a rapid and accurate identification of the species isolated from patients.
