Routine identification of anaerobic bacteria by MALDI-TOF<br />

196 anaerobic bacteria isolated from clinically relevant<br />

samples (blood cultures, abdominal, pelvic, oral, soft tissue infections) during<br />

2009 and 2010 were blindly tested<br />

MALDI-TOF MS identified 166 (84.6%) at a species level with a<br />

log(score) >2.000<br />

184 (93.8%) at a genus level<br />

After 16S rRNA gene sequencing, it turned out that the species was not<br />

included in the database for 10 isolates<br />

In cases of discrepant phenotypic identification (ATB, API and<br />

conventional methods), 16S rRNA gene sequencing supported the<br />

MALDI-TOF identification in 97% of the cases.<br />
