  • Title: The fast route to microbe identification: matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).
    Author: Dierig A, Frei R, Egli A.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2015 Jan; 34(1):97-9. PubMed ID: 25741802.
    Abstract:
    Rapid identification of bacterial and fungal microorganisms is critical for early and targeted antimicrobial therapy. Conventional methods for bacterial identification are time consuming. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has revolutionized the daily process of identification in modern microbiological laboratories. The technique and its multiple current and future applications will be discussed.
