Abstract: ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the performance and speed of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) when identifying the pathogenic microorganism of endophthalmitis compared to conventional microbiological culturing. Methods: Forty-four patients with suspected endophthalmitis… read more here.
