Use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) to detect antibiotic resistance in bacteria: A scoping review

CONCLUSIONS: MALDI-TOF shows promise as a tool for AMR detection, but its readiness for wider clinical adoption relies on ongoing research, development of algorithms and software for automated interpretation of mass spectra, and validation efforts. Its role in routine clinical practice may evolve as technology and knowledge progress.PMID:38040411 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad160
