Comparison between MALDI-TOF MS and FilmArray Blood Culture Identification panel for rapid identification of yeast from positive blood culture
In this study we evaluated MALDI-TOF MS and FilmArray methods for the rapid identification of yeast from positive blood cultures. FilmArray correctly identified 20/22 of yeast species, while MALDI-TOF MS identified 9/22. FilmArray is a reliable and rapid identification system for the direct identifi...

Zusammenfassung: | In this study we evaluated MALDI-TOF MS and FilmArray methods for the rapid identification of yeast from positive blood cultures. FilmArray correctly identified 20/22 of yeast species, while MALDI-TOF MS identified 9/22. FilmArray is a reliable and rapid identification system for the direct identification of yeasts from positive blood cultures.
•FilmArray is a reliable system for identification of yeasts from positive BC bottles.•FilmArray is a rapid system for identification of yeasts from positive BC bottles.•FilmArray showed better results in yeast identification compared with MALDI-TOF MS.•Using FilmArray, more appropriate empirical antifungal therapies could be set up.•MALDI-TOF MS protocols should be improved for reliable yeast identification. |
