Evaluation of Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Time-of flight Mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) and VITEK 2 in routine microbial identification

CONCLUSION: MALDI TOF MS and VITEK -2 gave comparable identification and error rates. The rapid reduction in turnaround time with MALDI TOF is a significant game-changer in the field of clinical microbiology.FUNDING: State Board of Medical Research (SBMR).PMID:35957934 | PMC:PMC9334958 | DOI:10.4314/gmj.v55i4.12
