Identification of clinically relevant pathogens (1)
Enterobacteriaceae (Conway, et al. J Mol Microbiol Biotechnol 2001)
Genetically distinct E. coli strains could be identified and distinguished
from several other genera/species of Enterobacteriaceae
Non-fermenters (Mellmann et al. J Clin Microbiol 2008 and 2009)
- 248 culture collection strains
belonging in 37 genera were used to
set up the database
- MALDI-TOF identified 67 of 78
(85.9%) clinically relevant
non-fermenters concordant with the
sequencing
- Mean log(score) values for 60
blind-coded samples identified by 8
laboratory were evaluated
97.3% of all log(score) values were >2
