  • Title: Sensitivity and specificity of Matrix-Associated Laser Desorption/Ionization - Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in discrimination at species level for Acinetobacter bacteremia.
    Author: Wu MS, Collier S, Liu PY, Lee YT, Kuo SC, Yang YS, Chen TL, Shi ZY, Lin CF.
    Journal: J Microbiol Methods; 2017 Sep; 140():58-60. PubMed ID: 28669800.
    Abstract:
    We aimed to establish the role of MALDI-TOF MS on species discrimination of phenotypically indistinguishable A. baumannii, A. pittii and A. nosocomialis. Compared to multiplex PCR, the gold standard, MALDI-TOF MS yielded a high sensitivity for A. baumannii (97.9%) and specificity for A. pittii (98.9%) and A. nosocomialis (100%).
