Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Identification of Bacterial Strains Routinely Isolated in a Clinical Microbiology Laboratory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared MALDI-TOF MS to the conventional phenotypic method for the identification of routine isolates and concluded that MAL DI-to-FMS is a fast and reliable technique which has the potential to replace conventional phenotype identification for most bacterial strains routinely isolated in clinical microbiology laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, a revolution in clinical microbial identification.
Alain Bizzini,Gilbert Greub +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the current state of use of MALDI-TOF MS for the identification of routine bacterial isolates and on the main difficulties that may lead to erroneous or doubtful identifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection of bacterial resistance to antibiotics using AFM cantilevers as nanomechanical sensors
Giovanni Longo,Livan Alonso-Sarduy,L. Marques Rio,Alain Bizzini,Andrej Trampuz,J. Notz,Giovanni Dietler,Sandor Kasas,Sandor Kasas +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the fluctuations of highly sensitive atomic force microscope cantilevers can be used to detect low concentrations of bacteria, characterize their metabolism and quantitatively screen (within minutes) their response to antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Direct Bacterial Identification from Positive Blood Culture Pellets
TL;DR: An ammonium chloride erythrocyte-lysing procedure was used to prepare a bacterial pellet from positive blood cultures for direct matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry analysis, and 99% of the MALDI-TOF identifications were congruent at the species level when considering valid scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry as an Alternative to 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing for Identification of Difficult-To-Identify Bacterial Strains
TL;DR: In this article, Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used to identify human bacterial pathogens.
