Résumé:

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is commonly used by clinical microbiology laboratories to identify bacterial pathogens and yeasts, but not for the identification of moulds. Recent progress in extraction protocols and the composition of comparative libraries support potential application of MALDI-TOF MS for mould identification in clinical microbiology laboratories. We evaluated the performance of the Bruker Microflex™ MALDI-TOF MS instrument (Billerica, MA, USA) to identify clinical isolates and reference strains of moulds using 3 …
