    Author: Monteiro J, Inoue FM, Lobo AP, Sugawara EK, Boaretti FM, Tufik S.
    Journal: J Microbiol Methods; 2015 Feb; 109():157-9. PubMed ID: 25541363.
    Abstract:
    A simple and reliable protocol using 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was developed to identify bacteria directly from blood cultures on the Vitek® MS system. Results presented a correlation of 99% for Gram-negative bacteria at species level, and 86.3% and 82.3% of Gram-positive bacteria at the genus and species levels, respectively.
