Résumé:

BACKGROUND: The poor reproducibility of matrix-assisted desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectra limits the effectiveness of the MALDI-TOF MS-based identification of filamentous fungi with highly heterogeneous phenotypes in routine clinical laboratories. This study aimed to enhance the MALDI-TOF MS-based identification of filamentous fungi by assessing several architectures of reference spectrum libraries. RESULTS: We established reference spectrum libraries that included 30 filamentous fungus species with various architectures characterized by distinct combinations of the f…
