Multicenter evaluation of the VITEK MS matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry system for identification of bacteria, including Brucella, and yeasts

The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry has proven to be rapid and accurate for the majority of clinical isolates. Some gaps remain concerning rare, emerging, or highly pathogenic species, showing the need to continuously expand the databas...
