Evaluation of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization−Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Identification of Mycobacterium species, Nocardia species, and Other Aerobic Actinomycetes

Seanne P. Buckwalter, Sara L. Olson, Brian J. Connelly, Beatriz Cacciacarro Lucas et al.

Short summary

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) demonstrated high specificity for identifying 162 Mycobacterium, 53 Nocardia, and 43 other aerobic actinomycetes species, performing comparably to 16S rRNA gene sequencing under clinical conditions.
