Multicentre study on the reproducibility of MALDI-TOF MS for nontuberculous mycobacteria identification.

was obtained for 100% of isolates in 5 laboratories (68.2-98.6% in the other). Species-level identification provided by MALDI- TOF was 100% correct in 8 centres and 100% correct to complex-level in 12 ...

Antibiotic resistance prediction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis from genome sequence data with Mykrobe.

Organization priority. We previously developed a software tool,, which provided offline species identification and drug resistance predictions for from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. Performance was ...

Strong increase of true and false positive mycobacterial cultures sent to the National Reference Centre in Belgium, 2007 to 2016.

by PCR in the NRC). We reviewed mycobacterial species identified and assessed trends over time of proportions of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) vs complex (MTB c), and false positive cultures vs ...

MALDI-TOF for the identification of Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles

cultures. In total 88.6% (172/194) of the samples were correctly identified on the species-level using a cut-off score of 1.8 and 91.75% (178/194) using a cut-off of 1.65. All samples of the Mycobacterium ...

WIV-ISP's experiences in the use of MALDI-TOF for the identification of Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles

Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles. By using an optimized extraction protocol, they successfully identified 88.14 % of 194 Mycobacterial strains at a species-level and 3.09 % at genus-level, using ...
