  • Title: Identification of Nocardia Species by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry.
    Author: Khot PD, Bird BA, Durrant RJ, Fisher MA.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2015 Oct; 53(10):3366-9. PubMed ID: 26269617.
    Abstract:
    Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry for identification of Nocardia species remains challenging. By identifying 83.1% (64 of 77) and 80% (8 of 10) to the species and complex levels, respectively, and 94.3% (82 of 87) to the genus level, we show that an approach using routine sample preparation, an up-to-date commercial database minimally augmented with custom spectra, and testing at an early stage of growth is promising.
