DOI: 10.1128/jcm.00654-21
Abstract: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causes high-mortality infections in immunocompromised hosts with limited therapeutic options. Many U.S. laboratories rely on commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility tests (cASTs) and use CLSI breakpoints (BPs) for S. maltophilia. ABSTRACT Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causes… read more here.

Rapid, Easy, and Reliable Identification of Nocardia sp. by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry, VITEK®-MS IVD V3.2 Database, Using Direct Deposit
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065469
Abstract: The reference methods for Nocardia identification are based on gene sequencing. These methods are time-consuming and not accessible for all laboratories. Conversely, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is easy to use and widely… read more here.
